The new rent takes effect from 22 October 2025.

In short

The landlord, Portico, proposed a new rent of £1750 per month to replace the existing £1350 per month for a two-bedroom flat in E16. The tribunal set a figure of £1600 per month before deductions, then deducted £150 per month for the flat's condition, including leaks, mould and poor kitchen units, to determine £1450 per month. It also found that a backdated increase would cause the tenant undue hardship, so the new rent starts from 22 October 2025 rather than 13 June 2025.
