The new rent takes effect from 24 June 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1300.00 pcm, up from £1067.08 pcm, for a one-bedroom flat in NW4. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1300.00 pcm but set 24 June 2026 as the start date instead of 1 March 2026, because the increase would cause the tenant undue hardship. The tribunal relied on the landlord's comparables and its own general knowledge of rental values in the area, and found the windows were not in disrepair.

What decided it:Hardship

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
