Model-assisted readingIn short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,750 per month, up from £1,200 per month, for a first-floor flat in W3. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,402.50 per month from 24 June 2025, starting from £1,650 per month for the flat in good order and then making a 15% deduction for its location above shops, poor communal access, poor-quality fittings and glazing, a small bathroom and the kitchen-dining layout. It found the evidence from both sides insufficient, and did not delay the start date because the tenant gave no evidence of financial circumstances.
