The new rent takes effect from 14 November 2024.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2450 a month for a three-bedroom maisonette in SW14, up from an existing rent of £1086 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1653.75 a month, having valued the property at £2450 a month in good condition and deducting 25% for poor specification (including no central heating, poor double glazing and a dated kitchen and bathroom) and a further 10% for internal decorating and the supply of white goods and furnishings. It also found hardship had been shown and set the new rent to start on the hearing date, 14 November 2024, rather than the 1 July 2024 date proposed in the notice.
