In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,650 per month, up from £1,300 per month, for a ground-floor flat in E12. The tribunal determined £1,360 per month from 1 July 2024, starting from £1,700 per month for a conventionally laid out flat in good condition and deducting about 20% (£340) for its poor internal layout, damp and mould, dated kitchen and bathroom fittings and defective windows and doors. The tribunal refused the tenant's request to defer the increase on hardship grounds.
