In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £196.15 a week, up from £155 a week, for a one-bedroom flat in SS0. The tribunal determined a market rent of £850 a month, which it stated as £196.15 a week, from 1 November 2025. It said a modernised flat in good order would be in the order of £900 a month, but accepted the landlord's £850 a month because of the wear and tear expected after the tenant's long occupation.
