In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in HA9 from £1,500 a month to £2,300 a month. The tribunal determined £1,980 a month, effective 21 September 2026, after valuing the house at £2,500 a month in contemporary condition and reducing that figure for cracking, damp and mould, and the lack of fencing. The tribunal also found that undue hardship would occur and set the start date of the new rent at 21 September 2026.
