In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom flat in E8 from £1,600 a month to £1,800 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,000 a month, starting 1 June 2026, and was not limited to the landlord's proposed figure because the notice was served before 1 May 2026. The tribunal set the rent from its own knowledge of market rent levels in LB Hackney, as neither party provided comparable rental evidence.
