In short

The landlord, London & Quadrant, proposed a rent of £175.15 a week in place of the existing £165.28 a week for a three-bedroom duplex flat in SE26. The tribunal, in its reasons, put the open market rent at £485 a week, deducted £50 because the landlord provided no carpets, curtains or white goods, and determined £435 a week. It relied on the landlord's comparable evidence and its own knowledge of rental values in the area.
