BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 23 February 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,500 a month for a three-bedroom house in N17, up from £1,300 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,950 a month, effective from 23 February 2026, starting from about £2,400 a month for the property in modernised, good condition and deducting £450 for its dated kitchen and bathroom, general condition and electrical issues raised by the local authority. The tribunal gave the landlord's two comparable addresses very limited weight because no details of them were supplied.
