In short

The tenant referred the rent of £1,225 a month to the tribunal for a market-rent determination on a three-bedroom flat in W9 let by Grainger plc. The tribunal found that the flat in good condition would let for £1,750 a month, based on the landlord's letting evidence and its own knowledge. It then deducted 27.50% for dilapidation and obsolescence, allowing for the tenant's own carpets, white goods and improvements, and set the rent at £1,268.75 a month from 16 March 2025.
