In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in L6 from £600 a month to £950 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,000 a month from 1 April 2026, after valuing the property at £1,100 a month if modernised and in good order and making deductions for its condition, including damage to ceilings, and for the tenant’s inability to use the outdoor storage cupboard. The tribunal relied on its own expertise and the landlord’s valuation and comparables, as the tenant provided no rental evidence, and found that undue hardship had not been established so the new rent starts on the date the landlord proposed.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
