BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 13 July 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,200 a month, up from £2,158 a month, for a one-bedroom flat in SE17. The tenant objected that the increase was too high, relying on ONS statistics showing a 2% rise, and wished to withdraw; the landlord made no submissions. The tribunal made no determination, saying the parties had agreed the notice's rent and the tenant wished to withdraw, but its reasons give a rent of £2,255 a month from 13 July 2026, which conflicts with the £2,200 a month stated elsewhere in the decision.
