In short

The landlord proposed a new rent of £2,100 in place of the existing £1,400 for a three-bedroom house in SE2. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,800 per calendar month, effective from 8 July 2024, after valuing the open market rent at £2,000 per calendar month. It made deductions for white goods and curtains provided by the tenant and for the condition of the floor coverings and kitchen fittings, using the landlord's comparable evidence and its own expert knowledge.
