In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £3,600 a month, up from £3,300 a month, for a three-bedroom furnished flat in E14. The tribunal determined a rent of £3,450 a month, effective from 18 August 2026, relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area and giving limited weight to the comparable lettings and asking-price evidence from both sides. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start date because no supporting evidence of hardship was provided.
