BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 24 July 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord asked for £650.00 a month for a one-bedroom flat in NG9, up from £565.00 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £585.00 a month, starting from 24 July 2025 instead of the landlord's proposed date, because the proposed date would cause the tenant undue hardship. It started from a market rent of £620.00 a month, deducting £25.00 for condensation and the property not having been modernised, and £10.00 for the tenant's own fittings, white goods and curtains.
