What the tribunal said
The landlord proposed an increase to £875.00 per month. The tribunal assessed the market rent for the two-bedroom converted flat at £775.00 per month, considering local comparables and its own expert knowledge. No deductions were made for tenant-reported defects as no evidence was provided. No undue hardship was proven, so the rent takes effect from the date specified in the section 13 notice.
The property
Tenant reported that the provided fridge was not in use, the garden was unsafe, and the bathroom flooded every time the shower was used. The tribunal made no deductions from market rent as no evidence was provided to support these maintenance claims.
