In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,200 a month, up from £1,150 a month, for a three-bedroom house in HA8. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,870 a month, effective from 7 June 2024. It reached this by reducing its own estimate of £2,200 a month for a property in good condition by approximately 15% to reflect disrepair, including water damage, mould and damaged kitchen fittings.
