The new rent takes effect from 9 December 2024.

In short

The landlord, Notting Hill Genesis, asked for a rent of £215.26 a week in place of the existing £119.87 a week for a flat in W14. The tribunal determined a rent of £235 a week after valuing the flat at £430 a week in good tenantable condition and deducting about 45% for an unmodernised bathroom, partial double glazing, damp and mould, and the lack of flooring and white goods. The tribunal said it relied on its own expert and general knowledge of rental values, and it found the start date in the landlord's notice would cause the tenant undue hardship, so it deferred the start of the new rent.
