BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 May 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom house in YO25 from £690 a month to £775 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £725 a month, relying on comparables from both parties, slightly more on the tenant's, and on its own knowledge of local rents. It set the start date at 1 May 2026 instead of 1 March 2026 because of undue hardship to the tenant.

What decided it:Comparables rejectedHardship
