In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £840 per month, up from £800 per month, for a room in a shared house in NW10. The tribunal determined a rent of £820 per month from 1 January 2026, finding that the significant intrusion of the sloping eaves, which greatly reduced usable floor space, and the shower and heating problems had been undervalued by the landlord. The tribunal relied in part on its own expertise and knowledge of local rents.
