Frequently asked questions
The median rent is the middle advertised weekly rent for properties listed during the reporting period. Because it uses the middle value rather than an average, unusually high or low asking rents have less influence on the result. Median rent provides a useful snapshot of typical advertised rents but may differ from the final rent agreed between a landlord and tenant.
