In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a one-bedroom flat in W5 from £1,500 a month to £1,700 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,600 a month, effective from 6 August 2025, relying on comparable evidence from both parties and its own knowledge of rents in the area. The tenant's complaints about cleanliness and noise were not grounds for any reduction in the rent.

Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
