Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 4 July 2026Case HAV/00LC/MNR/2026/0082

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, KCJZ Properties Limited, purported to serve two notices proposing a new rent of £230 and £245 a week in place of the existing £202 a week. The tribunal found neither notice valid because they were not signed or dated, the first start date was not the start of a tenancy period, and no service dates were given, and the landlord did not respond to the tribunal's direction. It therefore made no determination of the market rent.
