In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £850 a month, up from £780 a month, for a two-bedroom flat in M21. The tribunal determined the market rent at £850 a month, effective from 1 March 2026, the same start date as the landlord's notice. The tribunal said there was no comparable evidence beyond the landlord's agent's comments, so it relied on its own knowledge of local rents and found the flat in reasonable condition.
