BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 6 March 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £850 a month, up from £600 a month, for a three-bedroom unfurnished mid-terraced house in OL12. The tribunal determined the rent at £850 a month from 6 March 2026, after valuing the property at £900 a month if modernised and in tenantable repair and deducting £50 for the garage, a bath sealant and the lack of white goods. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start date because no evidence of hardship had been provided.
