In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,450 a month for a two-bedroom flat in LU2, up from the existing £1,310 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,410 a month, taking effect on 1 August 2026. It gave little weight to the tenant's rental tables and listings because they lacked details of size and condition, and found the flooring damage and other disrepair did not justify a reduction.
What decided it:Comparables rejectedProperty condition
