The new rent takes effect from 17 September 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,750 a month, up from £1,470 a month, for a one-bedroom unfurnished flat in SE8. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,600 a month from 17 September 2026, after valuing the flat in good condition at £1,650 a month and deducting £50 a month for its condition, including a rusting bath. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds because no evidence of the tenant's financial circumstances had been provided.
