In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £695.00 per calendar month, up from £600.00 per calendar month, for a one-bedroom flat in WS2. The tribunal determined a rent of £670.00 per calendar month from 1 April 2025, starting from the landlord's figure and deducting £25.00 per calendar month for the tenant's decorating liability. Neither party returned the tribunal's reply forms, so it relied on its own expertise and general knowledge of local rents.
