BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 4 August 2024, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,995 a month, replacing the existing £1,345 a month, for a converted ground floor flat in N14. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,645 a month, effective from 4 August 2024. It set a starting point of £1,825 based on rents achieved on letting rather than marketed asking rents, then reduced it by 10% because the flat's condition, including damp, mould, tired kitchen worktops and poor bathroom sealant, was below that of the comparables.
