The new rent takes effect from 24 September 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2950 a calendar month for this four-bedroom detached house in CH2. The tribunal determined the market rent at £2650 a calendar month, the same as the existing rent, so the rent does not increase, starting 24 September 2026. It valued the property at £2750 a calendar month in good order and deducted £100 a calendar month for disrepair.
