Matched in the decision textIn short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom basement flat in SW6 from £2,400 a month to £2,550 a month. The tribunal determined that the rent should remain £2,400 a month. It gave little weight to the tenants' comparable evidence because no supporting particulars were provided, and the landlord did not respond, so it relied on its own knowledge of local rental values.
