BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 7 March 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed £393.23 per fortnight for a three-bedroom semi-detached house in BL9, in place of the existing £357.69 per fortnight. The tribunal determined a market rent of £377.53 per fortnight from 7 March 2026. It gave little weight to the tenant's online comparables because of their size, configuration and desirability, and valued the house from its own knowledge, with deductions for the kitchen, bathroom, white goods and curtains the tenant had provided.
