In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a flat in GL5 from £525 a month to £650 a month. The tribunal determined the open market rent for the property in good condition to be £650 a month, effective from 3 August 2024, having considered the comparable evidence and its own knowledge of local rental values. The property was found to be in good lettable condition, so no deduction was made.

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
