What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined the market rent at £600 per month based on its own expert knowledge of local rental values. The tribunal considered the tenant's request for a postponement due to hardship but found insufficient evidence of undue hardship, so the increase takes effect from the date specified in the landlord's notice.

The property

The tenant reported mould and a long-standing faulty toilet, noting no repairs or improvements had been carried out by the landlord.
