28 Birch Lane High Heath Walsall WS4 1AR
Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 5 June 2025Case BIR/00CU/MNR/2024/0157
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 £520 a month to £620 a month, starting on 29 June 2024. The tribunal struck out the application because the notice was invalid: rent was payable on the 28th of each month, so the proposed start date did not fall at the beginning of a new period of the tenancy. No rent was determined.
Neither side gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
