BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 November 2023, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a one-bedroom ground-floor flat in HA9 from £1,800 a month to £2,000 a month. The tribunal set the rent at £1,900 a month, valuing the flat at £2,000 a month in good condition using its own knowledge of the Wembley market and deducting £100 a month for rising damp, wear and tear and lack of modernisation. It refused the tenants' request to defer the start date on hardship grounds, so the new rent takes effect from 1 November 2023.
