In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £750 per calendar month for a fully furnished studio flat in L2, up from the existing £675 per calendar month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £675 per calendar month, effective 17 January 2026, using its general knowledge of market rents in the vicinity and the comparative evidence before it. It made no deduction for the tenant's complaints of water ingress and a lift being out of service.
