In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent for a two-bedroom house in E6 from £1,400 a month to £1,950 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,700 a month, effective from 10 June 2024. It started from £2,000 a month for the property in good condition and deducted about 15% (£300) for worn carpets and flooring, a very dated kitchen, poor bathroom ventilation causing condensation dampness, and dangerous patio paving.
