In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,095.00 per calendar month, up from £995.00 per calendar month, for a two-bedroom flat in LS15. The tribunal determined the market rent at £995.00 per calendar month, effective from 30 May 2026. It relied on the tenant's four comparables, its own knowledge of local rents and the £995.00 rent agreed less than a year earlier, found the tenant's wider web search less relevant, and noted the landlord made no submissions.
