In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent for a one-bedroom flat in WD23 from £980 a month to £1,150 a month. The tribunal decided the rent should be £1,150 a month, the same as proposed, because it found no significant defects affecting market rent. It reached this figure from its own knowledge of local rents, as the landlord made no representations and the tenant gave no local rental comparables.
