What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined that the proposed rent of 1,450 per month represents the open market rent, having considered evidence of comparable nearby properties on the market at 1,500 per month which were in slightly better condition but lacked garages. The effective date was set to 4 February 2026 to avoid undue hardship to the tenant caused by backdating a large increase.
