In short
Hexagon Housing Association proposed raising the rent of a first-floor flat in SE6 from £109.69 a week to £114.96 a week. The tribunal determined the rent at £114.96 a week from 6 September 2026, because its valuation of the flat in good order, in the order of £300 a week, was above the proposed figure even allowing for the damp and mould reported by the tenant. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds, finding the evidence provided was limited.
