The new rent takes effect from 29 September 2025.

In short

The landlord proposed £2,300 a month to replace the existing £1,800 a month for a two-bedroom first-floor flat in NW1. The tribunal determined £2,200 a month, effective from 29 September 2025 rather than the 16 April 2025 start the landlord proposed, on grounds of hardship. It valued the flat in good tenantable condition at £2,600 a month, then applied a 15% deduction (£390 a month) for condensation and mould issues, giving a revised figure stated as £2,100 a month and rounded to £2,200 a month.
