In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,380 a month for a two-bedroom house in MK2, from 6 November 2024, up from £750 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £950 a month from 6 November 2024, valuing the property from its own knowledge and experience because neither party provided comparable rental evidence. It took account of the property's location, age and condition, including dated fittings, disrepair and draughty windows and doors.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
