In short
The landlord, a company, asked for a rent of £2500.00 per calendar month, up from £2200.00 per calendar month, for a two-bedroom flat in NW2. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2327.50 per calendar month from 1 May 2026, starting from a modernised value of £2450.00 per calendar month and deducting 5% for wear and tear. It excluded the gym from the rent and refused a later start date because the tenants' hardship claim lacked detail.
