The new rent takes effect from 12 March 2025.

In short

The landlord, Propshire Limited, asked for a new rent of £2,500 per month for a three-bedroom house in EN3, in place of the existing £2,000 per month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2,070 per calendar month, effective from 12 March 2025, rather than from the 30 October 2024 date proposed, because it found the tenant would suffer undue hardship if the new rent was backdated. The tribunal valued the property at £2,300 per calendar month in good condition, based mainly on comparables on the same road and its busy trunk-road location, then reduced that figure by 10 per cent for disrepair, the heating and the missing white goods and curtains.
