In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom flat in SE1 from £3,675 a month to £3,900 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £3,850 a month, effective from 24 August 2026, after starting from a £4,000 a month figure for the property in good order and deducting £150 a month for its dated internal condition. The tribunal gave less weight to the tenant's comparable outside the development and refused the tenant's request for a later start date, finding no undue hardship.
