What the decision shows

This is a regulated tenancy under the Rent Act 1977. The tribunal registered a fair rent of £371 a month, against a previous registered rent of £334 (+11%).

The Maximum Fair Rent Order applied. The cap limits each increase by a formula linked to RPI.

Fair rents are a different regime from Section 13 market rents, so they are kept out of every market-rent figure on this site.
