In short

The landlord, Eraglow Building Ltd, proposed raising the rent of a one-bedroom flat in PL1 from £595 per calendar month to £625 per calendar month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £625 per calendar month from 8 September 2026, after valuing the flat at £685 per month in good condition and deducting £60 for disrepair to the building, the front door, the fire escape staircase and rotten floor boards. It refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds because no evidence was provided.
