In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom flat in EN4 from £1850 per calendar month to £1980 per calendar month. The tribunal determined the rent at £1850 per calendar month from 11 May 2026, so no increase applies. It relied on its own expertise and on the landlord's agreement to defer any increase until the repairs the tenant reported have been carried out.
