In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £2,500 a month, up from the existing £2,300 a month, for a fully furnished one-bedroom flat in E20. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2,500 a month from 1 December 2025, the same figure the landlord proposed. It relied on its own expertise and the rental evidence from both sides, and made no deduction for condition because it found few if any defects.
