"Typical" is the median. n is the number of decisions each figure comes from. Figures from fewer than 5 decisions are shown as "too few".
Old rules: the landlord's notice was dated before 1 May 2026, when the tribunal could set the rent higher than the landlord asked. New rules: notice dated on or after 1 May 2026; the tribunal can only confirm the landlord's figure or set a lower one.
Past decisions are not a prediction. Each tribunal decides on the evidence in front of it.
Left out of the percentages, but listed below: housing association and affordable rents, rooms in shared houses, rents that include bills, register entries without the landlord's figure, and decisions whose figures we haven't been able to check.

Rents per calendar month, as the tribunal recorded them. Weekly rents are converted (× 52 ÷ 12).
Evidence the tribunal can weigh includes rents agreed for similar homes nearby, asking rents, the condition of the property and what the landlord provides. GOV.UK and Shelter explain the process.
