In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a furnished three-bedroom flat in W4 from £1,698 a month to £2,590 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,200 a month, taking effect from 29 May 2025. It valued the flat at £2,750 a month in good condition and deducted 20% for its condition, including single glazing, a dated bathroom and kitchen and tired decoration, while giving little weight to the landlord's online asking-rent listings; the later start date reflected the tenant's financial hardship.
