In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £695 a month for a double bedroom in a ten-bedroom house in multiple occupation in SE25. The tribunal determined a rent of £725 a month, effective from 12 July 2025. It said the landlord's comparables at £800 a month were in smaller houses and flats without ensuites, and the property is a room in a larger house shared with more people, which would lower the rent achievable.
