In short
The landlord, Places for People Homes Limited, proposed a rent of £305.97 a week, up from £230.69 a week, for a two-bedroom unfurnished flat in N1. The tribunal assessed the open market rent at £1,950 a month (£450 a week) after deducting £650 a month for the property's condition, but as the landlord did not seek to charge more than its proposal, it determined the rent at £305.97 a week, inclusive of a £123.56 a week service charge, from 6 April 2026. The landlord did not respond to the tribunal, which decided the case on the papers.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
