The new rent takes effect from 25 October 2024.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1700.00 per month to replace the existing £1400.00 per month for a two-bedroom flat in SE28. The tribunal determined a rent of £1575.00 per calendar month, effective from 25 October 2024, relying on comparable evidence from both parties and its own knowledge of local rents, and treating the flat's small third room as adding value but not comparable to three-bedroom units. The tribunal also found hardship because the tenant is the household's sole earner and was paying off arrears, so the start date was moved to the date of the hearing.
