In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £600 per month, up from the existing £525 per month, in a notice dated 4 March 2025. The tribunal, deciding on the papers without an inspection, determined a rent of £600 per calendar month from 6 April 2025. It started from an open market rent of £675 per month for the property in good tenantable condition and deducted £25 for the tenant's provision of some white goods and £50 for noise nuisance; the tenant made no hardship application.
