BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 30 April 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £3,250 a month, up from £1,950 a month, for a six-bedroom house in N17. The tribunal determined the market rent at £3,250 a month from 30 April 2026, valuing the property from its own knowledge of Tottenham rents because neither party provided comparable lettings. It gave limited weight to the landlord's letting-agent opinion, which was not supplied in writing, and found insufficient evidence that the increase would cause undue hardship.
