BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 25 April 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord, Clarion Housing, asked to raise the rent of a two-bedroom flat in MK10 from £1050 a month to £1100 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1100 a month, effective from 25 April 2026, relying on its own general knowledge of local rents, as the tenant gave no comparables and the landlord's comparables were asking rents. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start date because he had supplied no evidence of undue hardship.

What decided it:Hardship

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
