In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £400.00 a month, up from £360.00 a month, for a fully furnished room with an ensuite bathroom in a house in multiple occupation in HD4. The tribunal determined a rent of £360.00 a month from 19 March 2026, having valued the room at £400.00 a month in good order and deducted £40.00 for the poor condition of the shared facilities and the prolonged broadband failure.
