The new rent takes effect from 20 September 2026.

In short

The landlord of a two-bedroom flat in CR2 proposed a rent of £1,350 a month, up from £1,045 a month. The tribunal valued the flat at £1,600 a month but, because the landlord's proposal was lower, determined the rent at £1,350 a month from 20 September 2026. It refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds because no supporting evidence was supplied.

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
