In short

The landlord, Park Estates Ltd, proposed raising the rent of a flat in CT9 from £460 a month to £1,100 a month. The tribunal, using its own knowledge of local rents, determined a rent of £745 a month, effective from 15 March 2025, after deducting for the tenant's improvements and for white goods and curtains that the tenant provides. Neither party made written submissions, and the tenant made no representation that the start date would cause undue hardship.
