Tribunal's reasoning
The landlord proposed increasing the rent from £2,100 to £3,100 per month. The tenant referred the notice to the Tribunal, which determined the matter on paper submissions without an inspection or hearing due to lack of landlord evidence and only limited tenant submissions. Using its own knowledge and experience of the rental market in the Lee area, the Tribunal assessed a market rent of £2,400 per month and found no adjustments were necessary.
