The new rent takes effect from 1 November 2024.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £299 a week, up from £208 a week, for a one-bedroom flat in SW2. The tribunal determined a rent of £222 a week, effective from 1 November 2024, after a 40% deduction from its valuation of £370 a week for the flat's poor internal condition, lack of central heating, rot-affected windows, dated electrical system and small floor area. It gave little weight to the landlord's Local Housing Allowance and floor-area-based evidence, relied on five one-bedroom lettings, and deferred the start date to 1 November 2024 because of hardship to the tenant.
