2A The Arch, Olney, MK46 5 HR
BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 28 January 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.
In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom house in MK46 from £875 a month to £1,100 a month from 4 November 2024. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,050 a month, effective from 28 January 2025 rather than the proposed date, because of the tenant's financial situation and intended move. It gave limited weight to a comparable letting at £1,200 a month in the same development because that property had been refurbished, and it found the subject property in good condition.
Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
