Tribunal's reasoning
The Tribunal determined the market rent based on rental comparables in the area and adjustments for improvements made by the tenant. The proposed increase of £450 pcm was deemed too high due to undue hardship, leading to a decided rent of £1,100 pcm effective from March 12, 2026.
