Open-market rent (AST)

Flat 6, 146 Middleton Hall Road, Cotteridge, Birmingham, B30 1DN

First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) rent determination · case BIR/00CN/MNR/2026/0126

The tribunal's decision

£1,200 / month

The landlord asked for £750/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 £490/month.

Stated in the decision as "£1200 per calendar month". Decided 16 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.
