In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,400 a month, up from £1,750 a month, for a two-bedroom unfurnished house in SE17. The tribunal determined the rent at £2,400 a month from 11 February 2026, relying on its own knowledge and expertise of rental values in the area, the parties' submissions and the landlord's comparable evidence. The tribunal made no adjustment for condition and refused the tenant's request for a later start date because no evidence of hardship was provided.
