In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £3500 per calendar month, up from £1400 per calendar month, for a ground-floor flat in NW2. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2800 per calendar month from 15 June 2026, after valuing the flat at £4000 pcm in modernised, good order and deducting 30% for subsidence damage. It set the later start date because the tenant is in receipt of universal credit and the increase from the notice date would cause undue hardship.
