Rent tribunal decisions in Birmingham

What the tribunal decided in Birmingham

158 decisions (155 set a rent). In 68 we can compare the landlord's proposed rent with the rent the tribunal decided.

All includes 2 decisions where we can't tell which rules applied.

"Typical" is the median. n is the number of decisions each figure comes from. Figures from fewer than 5 decisions are shown as "too few".

Old rules: the landlord's notice was dated before 1 May 2026, when the tribunal could set the rent higher than the landlord asked. New rules: notice dated on or after 1 May 2026; the tribunal can only confirm the landlord's figure or set a lower one.

Past decisions are not a prediction. Each tribunal decides on the evidence in front of it.

Left out of the percentages, but listed below: housing association and affordable rents, rooms in shared houses, rents that include bills, register entries without the landlord's figure, and decisions whose figures we haven't been able to check.
