BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 29 November 2024, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £620.00 a month, up from £520.00 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £617.50 a month with effect from 29 November 2024 for a one-bedroom ground floor flat in NG20. Neither party returned reply forms, so the tribunal relied on its own knowledge of local one-bedroom flat rents, starting at £650.00 a month and deducting 5% for the tenant's decorating liability.
