In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a one-bedroom flat in SE9 from £1,225 a month to £1,325 a month. The tribunal determined the rent at £1,325 a month from 7 September 2026, because its open-market rent of £1,400 a month, after a £200 deduction for the property's condition, was higher than the landlord's proposal. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds because no evidence was provided to support it.
