Open-market rent (AST)

REASONS - 28 Aruba, Gotts Road, Leeds, LS12 1DW

First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) rent determination · case MAN/00DA/MNR/2023/0046

The tribunal's decision

£895 / month

The landlord asked for £675/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 £675/month.

Stated in the decision as "£895 per month". Decided 20 Sept 2023.

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.
