In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom house in LA3 from £725 a month to £775 a month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £775 a month, effective from 1 May 2026, relying on the landlord's comparable evidence and its own knowledge of rental values. It gave the most weight to two comparable properties of similar size and less weight to larger comparables, and found no undue hardship justifying a later start date.
