Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 24 June 2026Case MAN/00BU/MNR/2026/0230
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 proposed raising the rent from £1,350 a month to £1,400 a month for a property in WA15. The tribunal struck out the application because the notice of increase was not validly served, as the tenancy agreement allows notices to be delivered by hand or sent by first class post and does not provide for service by email.
