The new rent takes effect from 15 September 2025.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a ground-floor maisonette in SW2 from £880 a month to £1,000 a month. With no comparable rental evidence from either party, the tribunal used its own knowledge to value the property at £1,800 a month and then reduced that by 50% for its condition, including a dated kitchen and bathroom and limited central heating and power sockets. It determined a rent of £900 a month from 15 September 2025 rather than 9 June 2025, finding that the proposed start date would cause the tenant undue hardship.
