What the tribunal said
The Tribunal set the market rent at £935.00 per month based on comparable evidence of identical properties on the development, then deducted £15.00 per month to reflect unrepaired damage caused by a water leak. Due to tenant undue hardship, the effective date was postponed from 1 May 2026 to 1 June 2026.
