BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 20 May 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord asked for a rent of £1,600 a month for a one-bedroom unfurnished flat in E13, up from £1,150 a month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,600 a month from 20 May 2026, relying mainly on three comparable lettings supplied by the landlord, the most useful of which was a flat let at £1,600 a month. The tenants' argument that the notice was invalid was rejected, and they provided no comparable rents of their own.

What decided it:A party didn't respond

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
