In short

The landlord asked for a rent rise from £1,275 a month to £1,525 a month for a two-bedroom flat in TW5. The tribunal determined the rent at £1,525 a month from 28 March 2026, relying on its own expertise and the comparables from both sides. It refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds because the evidence was limited and the threshold for undue hardship is high.
