Decided: 8 December 2025
Postcode district: NW2
Property: 1-bedroom, Flat, false
Rent before: £900 a month

What the tribunal said

The landlord proposed raising the rent from £900 to £1,500 per month. The tribunal estimated the unadjusted market rent for the flat in good condition at £1,800 per month. After applying a £450 deduction for tenant improvements, the tribunal determined the market rent to be £1,350 per month. The tenant's application to defer the starting date on grounds of hardship was rejected due to lack of evidence.

The property

The property is a converted ground floor flat. Significant improvements were undertaken by the tenant over 33 years of occupation, for which a 25% (£450/month) deduction from market rent was applied.
