In short
The tenant applied to challenge the £990 a month rent for a room in a shared house in W13, arguing that £800 a month was the market rent. The tribunal determined a rent of £950 a month from 8 February 2026. It found merit in the tenant's contention that the landlord's comparables (£975 to £1,095 a month) differed from the room in condition, transport access and number of occupants, and it also gave some weight to the room's second-floor position.
What decided it:Comparables rejected
