In short
The landlord asked for a rent increase from £1,250 per month to £2,500 per month for a furnished flat in HA3. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,660 per month, effective from 9 April 2025 rather than the proposed 26 December 2024, because backdating would cause the tenants undue hardship. The tribunal treated the flat as a two-bedroom property and made a 5% deduction for storage heaters and disrepair.
