The new rent takes effect from 7 September 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a new rent of £2,850 a month, up from the existing £2,500 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2,675 a month, taking effect on 7 September 2026, for a two-bedroom flat in IG8. The tribunal found the comparables from the nearby development the most reliable, treated the landlord's £4,500 a month comparable as an outlier, and allowed for the white goods and curtains the landlord provides.
