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

In short

The landlord, through its estate agent, proposed a rent of £2,350.00 per calendar month, up from £2,150.00 per calendar month, for a semi-detached house in SK9. The tribunal determined the market rent at £2,350.00 per calendar month from 6 June 2026, relying on its own knowledge of rental values in the area because neither side provided comparable evidence. The tenants' claimed hardship was not supported by any details or evidence, so the start date was not deferred.
