In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £2175 a month, up from £2080 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £2175 a month, effective from 20 February 2025 rather than the 1 January 2025 start the landlord proposed, because it accepted the tenant's hardship case. The tribunal valued the two-bedroom semi-detached house in SE21 using its own expert and general knowledge of local rents, as the landlord made no submission and the tenant's rental evidence was not specific.
