In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in N16 from £63.00 per week to £740.00 per week from 1 August 2024. The tribunal determined a rent of £705.50 per week from 1 August 2024, starting from an open market rent in the region of £830 per week in good condition and deducting 5% for mould and 10% for no central heating. The tribunal valued the rent from its own knowledge because neither party provided comparable evidence.
