The new rent takes effect from 1 October 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,200 a month, up from £950 a month, for a three-bedroom house in YO62. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,000 a month from 1 October 2026, after valuing the house at £1,200 a month in modernised, good order in a rural location. It then deducted amounts for the lack of double glazing and the poor kitchen units, and the tribunal relied on its own knowledge because neither party gave comparable rental evidence.
