The new rent takes effect from 18 May 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2800 a month, up from £1700 a month, for a three-bedroom house in HA10. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2400 a month, effective from 18 May 2026, after finding the windows and kitchen door were defective and applying a 5% deduction, while also reflecting the garage's limited use. The tenant had asked for a later start date, and the tribunal found undue hardship and set the new rent to take effect from the hearing date.
