In short

The landlord asked for a rent of £2,400 a month for a two-bedroom unfurnished flat in E5, up from £1,310 a month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,500 a month from 22 April 2026, after valuing the flat at £2,150 a month and making a deduction of £650 for its condition, including damp, mould and disrepair. The tribunal relied on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, as well as the comparable evidence from both parties.
