BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 19 July 2024, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,925 per month for a one-bedroom flat in W9, in place of the existing £1,875 per month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,875 per month from 19 July 2024, the existing rent. It found the open market rent without the property's issues would be £1,925 per month, but reduced it because a kitchen extractor that vents into the flat causes dampness, and it relied on the tenant's comparable evidence and its own knowledge because the landlord provided no comparables.
