In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,275 a month, up from the passing rent of £1,000 a month, for a two-bedroom ground-floor flat in SO16. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,100 a month from 1 May 2025. It started from a market rent of £1,300 a month in good condition, based on a recent letting of a similar flat in the same building, and then deducted £200 a month for disrepair (including window frames the landlord is responsible for), dated kitchen and bathroom fittings, and items the tenant provides or the landlord only partly provides.
