In short
The landlord asked to raise the rent of a three-bedroom house in LU3 from £1,300 a month to £1,550 a month from 6 October 2024. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,425 a month effective from 6 October 2024. It relied on its own knowledge because neither party provided rental evidence, and it made a deduction because the tenant's photographs showed the property was in clear need of repair, renewal and redecoration.
