The new rent takes effect from 2 July 2025.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,500 a month for a three-bedroom semi-detached house in B16, replacing an existing rent of £1,000. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,350 a month, taking effect from 2 July 2025, after deducting for white goods fitted by the tenant and the tenant's decorating liability, and it deferred the start date because the tenant raised hardship.
