The new rent takes effect from 6 August 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,150 a month, up from £1,170 a month, for a one-bedroom flat in W2. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,800 a month, starting on 6 August 2026 rather than the date proposed, because it found the increase would cause the tenant undue hardship. It reached a starting figure of £2,150 a month from the landlord's comparable lettings and its own expertise, then deducted £350 for the property's general condition, dated kitchen and sanitary fittings, damaged windows and the tenant's improvements including replacement wooden floors.

What decided it:Property conditionHardship
