The new rent takes effect from 8 October 2024.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,289 a month, up from £1,185 a month, for a one-bedroom ground-floor flat in SW1V. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,400 a month from 8 October 2024, starting from its own valuation of £2,000 a month for the property in good tenantable condition and deducting 30% for the modernisation required. The landlord made no written submissions, and the tribunal was satisfied that the start date in the landlord's notice would cause the tenant undue hardship.
