In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £2,500 a month, up from £2,000 a month, for a three-bedroom house in EN3. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,375 a month, based on comparable lettings and its own knowledge of the area, with an adjustment for the property's condition. It set the new rent to start on 19 September 2026 rather than 19 August 2026, finding that the increase from the proposed date would cause the tenant undue hardship.
