In short
The tenant applied in May 2024 for the tribunal to determine the rent under section 22 of the Housing Act 1988 for a one-bedroom flat in NW8, currently let at £1,800 per calendar month. The tribunal made no determination because it found that this rent was not significantly higher than the rent the landlord could reasonably expect to obtain. It valued the open market rent for the flat in good condition at £2,000 per calendar month, then deducted £200 for defects found at the start of the tenancy.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
