In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in HA7 from £177.05 a week to £185.55 a week from 6 April 2026. The tribunal determined a market rent of £530.77 a week, relying on its own expertise because the landlord did not reply and the tenant's evidence was limited, and found no undue hardship. The decision also says the landlord's £185.55 a week proposal is to be applied from 6 April 2026, which conflicts with the determined figure.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
