Tribunal's reasoning
Neither party submitted comparable rental evidence, so the tribunal relied on its own general knowledge of rental values in Hadleigh. It determined that the open market rent for this ground-floor flat near the High Street was £650 per month, matching the landlord's proposed figure, and directed this take effect from 1 September 2025 as specified in the landlord's section 13 notice.
