The new rent takes effect from 2 April 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,900.00 per calendar month in place of the existing £1,350.00 per calendar month for a three-bedroom flat in TW15. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,635.00 per calendar month, valuing the flat at £2,000.00 per calendar month in good order and deducting £350.00 for disrepair found at inspection and £15.00 for the tenant's provision of a washing machine. The tribunal set the start date as 2 April 2026 rather than the landlord's proposed date because it found the increase would cause the tenant undue hardship.
