As the tribunal described the home in its decision.
What the decision shows
The landlord proposed £1,535 a month (+2.7% on the £1,495 already paid), and the tribunal confirmed it in full.
Under the Renters’ Rights Act rules the new rent starts from the first rent day on or after the decision, with no backdating, so the landlord also lost the increase for the months the case took.
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.
