The new rent takes effect from 1 August 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,420 a month, up from £1,395 a month, for a two-bedroom flat in DA11. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,420 a month from 1 August 2026, the same as the landlord proposed. It gave substantial weight to the landlord's comparable lettings and market analysis, gave the tenant's single comparable some weight, and used its own knowledge of rental values; with no evidence of hardship, it did not defer the start date.
