A First-tier Tribunal decision on the rent for a 2-bedroom flat in E7.

Decided: 19 May 2026
Postcode district: E7
Property: 2-bedroom, Flat
Rent before: £1,600 a month
Landlord proposed: £1,750 a month
Tribunal determined: £1,400 a month-20.0% on the proposal
Payable from: 18 January 2026
Rules applied: Before the Renters’ Rights Act

What the tribunal said

The Tribunal assessed the market rent for the property in good modernised condition at £1,750 per month. A 20% deduction was applied to account for tenant-provided carpets and curtains, tenant internal repair responsibilities, lack of adequate ventilation, and severe damp/mould rendering one bedroom unusable.

The property

The property suffers from condensation and damp, with severe black mould in the second bedroom rendering it effectively unusable. Main hallway has mould spots and flaking paint. Ventilation falls short of local authority requirements, and the bathroom is dated.
