In short

The landlord, Hyde Housing Association Ltd, proposed a rent of £1,348.80 a month for a two-bedroom flat in SE5, up from £1,158.40 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,800 a month from 6 April 2026. It relied on the tenant's comparable lettings and its own knowledge of Southwark rents, valuing the flat at £1,900 a month fully fitted and deducting £100 a month for electric storage heaters rather than gas or oil heating.
