In short

The landlord asked for a rent of £1,600 a month for a one-bedroom unfurnished flat in E13, up from £1,203 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,600 a month from 3 May 2026, relying on its own expertise and the landlord's comparable lettings, as the tenant provided no comparables. The tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds was refused because the evidence did not show undue hardship.

What decided it:Hardship

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
