In short

The landlord of a three-bedroom semi-detached house in SE12 proposed raising the rent from £2,100.00 a month to £3,100.00 a month. The tribunal decided on the papers, without a hearing or inspection, and set the rent at £2,400.00 a month from 11 August 2024. The landlord made no submissions and the tenant gave no rental evidence, so the tribunal relied on its own knowledge of the local rental market and made no adjustment.
