The new rent takes effect from 17 October 2024.

In short

The landlord, Osborn Terrace SE3 Limited, proposed raising the rent of a studio flat in SE3 from £1,050 a month to £1,200 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,200 a month, effective from 17 October 2024 rather than the start date the landlord proposed, because it was satisfied that the proposed start date would cause the tenant undue hardship. It based its valuation on the landlord's comparables of £1,250 to £1,325 a month and its own knowledge of local rents, starting from about £1,250 a month for the flat in its current condition, then made an adjustment for the tenant's furniture and floor coverings to reach £1,200 a month.
