In short

The landlord, Peabody, proposed raising the rent on a two-bedroom flat in NW1 from £1430.35 pcm to £1501.87 pcm. The tribunal, using the old Housing Act 1988 rules, determined a market rent of £2,150 pcm from 1 April 2026, based on its own knowledge of Camden rents with a £100 pcm allowance for no landlord floor coverings. The tenant's hardship request was not supported by evidence, so the start date was not changed.

The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
