In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a one-bedroom flat in TR7 from £775 a month to £925 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £825 a month from 1 June 2025. It found the landlord's comparable lettings in the same building (£950 to £1,150 a month) superior because of their sea views, balconies and parking, put the open-market rent at £850 a month, and deducted £25 a month for minor repairs and wear and tear.
