In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent from £1,075 a month to £1,175 a month for a two-bedroom house in L31. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,175 a month from 15 June 2026, giving greater weight to the landlord's achieved letting at £1,195 a month than to the tenant's asking rent of £1,150 a month, and found the property in good overall condition so made no adjustment.
