The new rent takes effect from 1 September 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,000 a month, up from £1,850 a month, for a furnished two-bedroom flat in NW9. The tribunal valued the open-market rent at £2,100 a month, allowing for the tenant's replacement of some furniture, but determined £2,000 a month because that is lower than its valuation. It refused the tenant's request for a later start date on hardship grounds because no supporting evidence was provided.
