The new rent takes effect from 25 October 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom flat in BS23 from £900 a month to £950 a month. The tribunal determined £950 a month, effective from 25 October 2026, after deducting £50 a month from its own £1,000 a month starting figure because of the flat's EPC E rating and storage heating. The tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds was not granted because the financial evidence was insufficient.
