In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of this two-bedroom flat in IG11 from £1,250 a month to £1,750 a month. The tribunal determined the rent at £1,450 a month from 25 June 2026. It started from £1,650 a month for the property in modernised, good order and deducted £200 a month for condition, single glazing and electric heating, and it refused the tenant's request for a later start because no evidence of hardship was provided.
