In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £2,600 a month, up from £1,200 a month, for a five-bedroom house in BR2. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,400 a month, effective from 10 February 2025. It reached this by reducing its £2,600 a month open-market figure for a property in good condition by £200 a month, citing the room configuration, slightly dated fittings and small rear garden.
