What the decision shows

The landlord proposed £2,200 a month (+120% on the £1,000 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.

Damp or mould came up in the decision. Condition the landlord is responsible for is usually deducted from the market rent.
