This question was answered on 30th January 2026
The determination of market rent for the purposes of rent reviews under the Renters' Rights Act 2025 will be a decision for the judiciary in the First-tier Tribunal.
The First-tier Tribunal panels, which include expert valuers, will take into account evidence submitted by both tenant and landlord, alongside other relevant factors, such as rents for comparable local properties.
