As the tribunal described the home in its decision.

What the decision shows

The landlord proposed £1,300 a month (+73.3% on the £750 already paid). The tribunal set £1,025, £275 a month (−21.2%) below the proposal: about £3,300 over a year.

The tenant asked for the new rent to start later for undue hardship; the tribunal did not agree, or the decision does not say it did.
