Withheld: failed a sanity check
In short
The landlord, a housing association, proposed a rent of £150.06 a week from 6 July 2026, up from £143.19 a week. The tribunal determined a market rent of £500 a week from 6 July 2026 for a two-bedroom flat in SE4, relying on its own expertise and knowledge of local rents because neither party provided comparable evidence. It assumed reasonable condition because the tenant's disrepair claim was unsupported, and refused a later start date on hardship grounds for lack of evidence.
