Flat 1, 23-25 Lozells Street, Handsworth, Birmingham, West Midlands, B19 2AU

The landlord asked for £543/month; the tribunal set a higher open-market figure — an outcome the pre-2026 rules allowed but the Renters' Rights Act has since abolished. The rent before the increase was £497/month.

Stated in the decision as "£170.00 per week" — converted to a calendar-month figure here. Decided 3 Jun 2026.

What this decision means

In an open-market rent case, the tribunal determines what the property would reasonably let for on the open market — usually after a tenant refers a Section 13 rent increase notice. The panel (typically including a chartered surveyor) considers local comparable lettings and the property's condition, and may deduct for disrepair or tenant improvements.
