In short

The landlord asked for a rent of £1,700 a month, up from £1,325 a month, for a two-bedroom flat in E12. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,525 a month, taking effect from 1 September 2025. It reduced its £1,700 figure by £175 for cracked plaster, water staining, worn carpet and blown double glazing seals, and refused the tenant's request to defer the increase on hardship grounds because no financial evidence was provided.
