Matched in the decision textThe new rent takes effect from 3 February 2025.
In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent for a room in a shared house in N17 from £525 a month to £700 a month. The tribunal decided on the papers, without a hearing, that the market rent is £700 a month, taking into account its knowledge and experience of the North London rental market. The landlord gave no comparable evidence and there was no evidence on the room's condition, so no deductions were made.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
