In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2080 per calendar month, up from the passing rent of £1680 per calendar month, for a three-bedroom flat in NW4. The tribunal determined a rent of £2000 per calendar month, starting 22 June 2026, after valuing the flat at £2400 per calendar month in good order and deducting £400 per calendar month for its condition, including damp, electrical defects and faults with the WC and shower. The tribunal also gave the tenant the benefit of the doubt on hardship grounds and delayed the start date to 22 June 2026.
