The new rent takes effect from 24 September 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,950 a month for a two-bedroom flat in WD3, up from the existing £1,900 a month, and the tenant referred the notice to the tribunal. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,900 a month, effective 24 September 2026, so the rent will not increase. It treated the property's May 2025 letting at £1,900 a month as the best guide, finding that the parties' comparables did not give a clear picture because of differences in size, location and block.
