In short

The landlord, a company, proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom semi-detached house in MK5 from £1,975 a month to £2,150 a month, and the tenant referred the notice to the tribunal. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2,016 a month, effective from 28 May 2026. It reached this figure because advertised rents of £2,200 a month with a one-month rent-free incentive equate to an effective rent of £2,016.67 a month over the first year, and it gave reduced weight to comparables whose addresses the landlord would not disclose.
