In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1395 per calendar month, up from £1295 per calendar month, for a two-bedroom flat in M20. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1350 per calendar month from 1 March 2026, placing the flat toward the middle of a local range of £1100 to £1500 per calendar month because of its specific location and the facilities available. The tribunal relied on its own expert and general knowledge of local rents, as neither party provided rental evidence.
