BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 6 April 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £382.70 a week, up from £365.17 a week, for a two-bedroom unfurnished flat in E1. The tribunal determined a market rent of £382.50 a week from 6 April 2026, starting from its own valuation of £450 a week in good order and deducting 15% for the lease terms, the tenant's repairing and decorating obligations and the unfurnished letting. It rejected the tenant's comparable evidence, a housing association property offered for bids in March 2022, and did not grant the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds because the increase would not cause undue hardship.
