Reading these decisions
- Each decision values one home on the evidence in front of the tribunal. It is not a rent for the street.

- The tribunal can set a rent below what the tenant already pays, usually for condition or a weak evidence pack.

How many rent tribunal decisions are there in M7 (Salford)?
12 published decisions: 5 on notices under the Renters’ Rights Act rules, 6 under the earlier rules and 1 fair-rent decisions for regulated tenancies. The list is refreshed daily from GOV.UK.

Can the tribunal set a higher rent than the landlord proposed?
Not for notices served from 1 May 2026. The tribunal sets the open-market rent or the notice figure, whichever is lower, and the new rent starts from the decision with no backdating. Under the earlier rules it could go higher, which is why the two are shown separately.
How should I price a rent increase in M7 (Salford)?
Start from rents actually achieved for similar homes nearby, recent and close, then adjust for condition, furnishing and what is included. Tribunal decisions show the risk of getting it wrong; they are not a price list. Keep the comparables and condition record before you serve the notice.
