What the tribunal decided in Hartlepool
2 decisions (1 set a rent).
None of these decisions has both figures needed for the comparisons.
Old rules: the landlord's notice was served before 1 May 2026, when the tribunal could set the rent higher than the landlord asked. New rules: notice served 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.
The figures and the list below, with a GOV.UK link for every decision: something you can attach to an MR1 application.

Rents per calendar month, as the tribunal recorded them. Weekly rents are converted (× 52 ÷ 12).
Housing association or affordable rent: in these cases the tribunal sets the open-market rent for the property. The landlord isn't obliged to charge it, and usually charges a lower social or affordable rent, but can't charge more. These decisions are left out of the site's statistics.
Evidence the tribunal can weigh includes rents agreed for similar homes nearby, asking rents, the condition of the property and what the landlord provides. GOV.UK and Shelter explain the process.
