The landlord proposed a rent of £2750 a month, up from the passing rent of £1920 a month, for a three-bedroom maisonette in E3. The tribunal determined a rent of £2750 a month, effective from 11 March 2026, using both sides' comparable rents and its own general knowledge of the Tower Hamlets market. The tenant had sought hardship, but the tribunal did not consider it further because insufficient information was provided.
