In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,000 a month, up from the existing £775 a month, for a ground floor flat in BS15. The tribunal determined a market rent of £875 a month, effective from 28 April 2025, using its own knowledge of Bristol rental values and taking into account the lack of ventilation to the bedroom. The tribunal made no adjustment for nuisance from nearby building works, which it found were within normal working hours.
