In short

The landlord asked for £1,845 a month for a ground-floor unfurnished flat in EN4, up from £1,800 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,675 a month, effective from 10 August 2026. It chose the tenant's two ground-floor comparables, placed most weight on the closer-sized one, and reduced the figure to allow for the gap between asking and settled rents.
