Tribunal's reasoning
Finding the landlord's comparables relevant and with no evidence from the tenant beyond a bare suggestion of £500 pcm, the tribunal relied on its own market knowledge and the landlord's evidence to determine the market rent at £650 pcm. Note: this is higher than the landlord's own proposed £580 pcm — unusual, but this case proceeded under the older 'sections 13 & 14' process (not the newer open-market-rent process some other 2026 decisions use), which did not cap the determination at the landlord's proposed figure.
