What the decision shows
The landlord proposed £2,250 a month (+18.4% on the £1,900 already paid). The tribunal set £2,100, £150 a month (−6.7%) below the proposal: about £1,800 over a year.
Damp or mould came up in the decision. Condition the landlord is responsible for is usually deducted from the market rent.
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.
