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

In short

The Guinness Partnership asked to raise the rent for a one-bedroom flat in M3 from £162.41 a week to £170.21 a week. The tribunal determined the rent at £170.21 a week, the landlord's proposed figure, because its own view of the open market rent (£250 to £255 a week) was higher and it cannot set a rent above the landlord's proposal. The tribunal delayed the new rent to start on 6 September 2026 instead of 6 April 2026 because of the tenant's hardship concerns.
