Open-market rent (AST)

Flat 1 Ditchling Court, 8A Bricket Road, St Albans, AL1 3LQ

First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) rent determination · case CAM/26UG/MNR/2022/0026

The tribunal's decision

£1,050 / month

The landlord asked for £474/month; the tribunal set a higher open-market figure — an outcome the pre-2026 rules allowed but the Renters' Rights Act has since abolished.

Stated in the decision as "£1,050 per calendar month". Decided 30 May 2022.

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.
