Evidence considered
- No independent comparable evidence discussed; rent of £150 per week was agreed between the parties at the hearing.
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.
Tribunal's reasoning
The parties attended the hearing and, after making representations, agreed a new rent of £150 per week (equivalent to about £650 pcm), which the Tribunal recorded as its decision. No independent market evidence analysis is set out, as the figure was agreed rather than contested. The Tribunal postponed the effective date to 1 June 2026, rather than backdating to the date in the landlord's notice, because backdating such a large increase would cause the tenant undue hardship, which the landlord accepted.
