In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a flat in E9 from £1,286.59 per month to £1,321.33 per month. The tribunal determined that the rent from 1 April 2025 should be £1,286.59 per month, so there is no increase. It gave as reasons that fire safety problems and the scaffolding and cladding works had a major impact on the market rent, and it did not accept the landlord's evidence that the proposed rent was 20 per cent below market value.
