In short
The landlord, a company, proposed a rent of £750 a month in place of the existing £575 a month for a furnished room in a shared house in CR0. The tribunal decided the case on the papers and determined a rent of £715 a month from 1 August 2025. It based its figure on the landlord's comparable evidence and its own knowledge of local rents, with a £35 notional adjustment for council tax and water rates, which the figure excludes.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
