In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent on a three-bedroom house in TW13 from £1,530 a month to £1,850 a month. After a hearing and inspection, the tribunal determined a market rent of £1,950 a month, taking £2,000 a month for the house in good condition and deducting 2½% (£50 a month) for penetrating damp in the front bedroom. The tenant gave no comparable lettings and the tribunal also drew on its own knowledge of the local rental market.
