BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 17 June 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord asked to raise the rent for a two-bedroom house in IP5 from £900 a month to £1,100 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,100 a month, effective from 17 June 2025. Neither party submitted rental evidence, so the tribunal relied on its own expertise and knowledge; the tenant made no representations and the landlord's agent said the location was in strong demand.
