1a Norfolk Road, Cliftonville, Margate, Kent, CT9 2HU
Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 31 July 2026Case HAV/29UN/MNR/2026/0173
No rent was set
The application was struck out, so the tribunal did not set a rent. This most often happens when the landlord's notice was invalid or the tribunal had no jurisdiction.
In short
The landlord, Hodges & Andrews Ltd, proposed raising the rent of a flat in CT9 from £640 a month to £800 a month. The tribunal made no rent determination because the notice was invalid: it did not name one of the two joint tenants, and its proposed start date of 1 June 2026 was not the first day of a tenancy period. The tribunal said the wrong address alone would not have invalidated the notice.
