BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 16 April 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £4,950 a month for a mid-terraced house in E5, up from £3,200 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £3,600 a month, effective from 16 April 2026, relying on its own expertise and the limited evidence available, and treating the property as having five usable rooms rather than deciding whether it had three or four bedrooms. The tribunal found that undue hardship was not proven, so the new rent starts on the date the landlord proposed.
