Matched in the decision textIn short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1100 a month, up from the existing £885 a month, for a furnished one-bedroom flat in M7. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1100 a month, effective 6 August 2026, relying mainly on rents achieved on the landlord's estate and making no deduction for the property's condition. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds because no income and expenditure schedule was provided and the rent payable was considerably lower than the local market rate.
