In short
The landlord asked for a rent of £2500 a month for a three-bedroom maisonette in E1, up from £1950 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £2125 a month, effective from 8 October 2024, after valuing the property in good tenantable condition at £2500 a month. It then deducted 15% for condition problems, including mould and defective windows in the bathroom, worn kitchen units, tired flooring, a conservatory in disrepair and no central heating in each room.
Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
