BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 21 June 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord asked for £925.00 per calendar month, up from £650.00 per calendar month, for a three-bedroom unfurnished house in LS10. The tribunal determined the market rent at £925.00 per calendar month from 21 June 2026, the start date in the landlord’s notice, relying on its own expertise and the landlord’s comparables, which it gave limited weight to because their size and condition were not well described. The tribunal found the property in overall good condition and did not accept that the tenant’s claimed financial hardship justified a later start date.

What decided it:Comparables rejectedHardship

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
