In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,350 a month, up from £1,275 a month, for a first-floor flat in RG21. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,300 a month from 30 July 2026. It valued the flat at £1,350 a month in good repair, then deducted £50 because the poor upkeep of the communal areas gave them a dilapidated appearance and security issues.
