In short

The landlord asked for £1750 per month, up from £1200 per month, for a maisonette in KT8 from 15 December 2025. The tribunal decided the market rent was £1630 per month from 15 December 2025, having valued the property at £1750 per month in good order using its own knowledge of local rents. It then deducted £120 per month for the tenant's own washing machine and for disrepair to the bathroom, kitchen and electrical installation.
