In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £966 a month for a two-bedroom flat in M34, up from £895 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £900 a month from 4 April 2026, placing the property towards the middle of a £850 to £950 a month bracket based on its location, size and amenities. It gave the tenant's comparables slightly more weight than the landlord's, as they were more closely comparable, and refused the tenant's hardship request because no evidence was provided.
