In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £3,013 a month for a furnished two-bedroom flat in E20, up from £2,786.63 a month, and the tenant referred the proposal to the tribunal. The tribunal determined the rent at the landlord's proposed £3,013 a month from 29 August 2026, because its own open-market valuation of £3,025 a month was higher. It gave greater weight to the landlord's evidence of 47 actual lettings in the development than to the tenant's comparables, which included asking rents.
What decided it:Comparables rejectedHardship
