In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1600 a month for a one-bedroom flat in E7, up from £750 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1150 a month from 1 April 2024. It put the open-market rent for the property in good tenantable condition at £1600 a month, then deducted £450 a month because the flat was not in a condition expected for a contemporary market.
