What the decision shows
The landlord proposed £2,760 a month (+2.2% on the £2,700 already paid). The tribunal set £2,700, £60 a month (−2.2%) below the proposal: about £720 over a year.
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.
