Wales doesn`t seem to be very pro-landlord though does it?[Deleted User] said:Yes, i have read about it a bit. It does mention that a judgment in favour of the landlord could increase the proposed rent even higher. If the LL argued that they could actually get more than their initial hike offered. Although it's not common the tribunal does that. That might occur if I happened to be living in Mayfair or smt.

The tribunal should consider what is fair irrespective of whether it's London, Liverpool or Llandudno.2 -
I think the OP said the most expensive they have seen in their area is £100 less than they are being asked to pay, my bet is the landlord borrowed too much.Emmia said:

The landlord may still be able to replace the OP at the higher rent. Going to tribunal (whatever the OP may or may not have seen) has risks.ReadySteadyPop said:
