If you found out that a previous tenant was paying nearly £200 less than you are when they moved out a month ago? No improvements made to the home or anything like that.

Presumably you're paying market rates?
Maybe previous tenant had been there a long time and rent hadn't been raised.

No because it’s up to you to decide whether the rent you are being asked to pay is an acceptable amount or not regardless of what previous tenants had been charged.

That is true but options are very limited in the area

Probably but there is nothing you can do about it. Do you feel you are paying the going rate?
