In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent on a studio flat in EN2 from £850 a month to £1,600 a month (which the landlord said included £264 a month for bills). After a hearing without an inspection, the tribunal determined a market rent of £1,100 a month. It valued the flat at £1,200 a month in good condition and deducted £100 a month for irregular heating, mould and rodent evidence.
