In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,250 a month, up from the existing £2,200 a month, for a three-bedroom house in IG8. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,250 a month from 21 April 2026, based on its own knowledge of market rents of £2,200 to £2,400 a month in Woodford Green. The tenant's suggested figure of £2,000 a month was not supported by any market evidence, and the landlord made no representations.

The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
