What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the market rent of the property in good condition at £950 per month. A deduction of £25 per month was made to reflect tenant's improvements, including internal redecoration, garden paving, and a replacement kitchen hob. The tenant's claim of undue hardship was rejected due to lack of financial evidence. The rent was determined at £925 per month effective from 30 May 2026.
