Rents
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what methodology the Government intends should be used to determine market rent for the purposes of rent reviews under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
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.
