BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 29 July 2024, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.
In short
The landlord asked for a rent of £1,100 a month, up from £675, for a two-bedroom flat in M50 with parking. The tribunal set the rent at £925 a month from 29 July 2024, after valuing the open-market rent at £1,075 a month and deducting £75 for wear and tear of furniture and carpets and £75 for other minor repairs and updating. It gave little weight to the tenant's comparables, which it found were agreements with existing tenants rather than open-market lettings.
Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
