BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 24 December 2024, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord’s agent proposed raising the rent of a one-bedroom property in SS9 from £800 per calendar month to £900 per month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £900 per calendar month, effective from 24 December 2024, applying its own knowledge and expertise. It said the property’s proximity to nearby food and drink businesses and the resulting disturbance would mean an incoming tenant would pay less than for an otherwise identical property.
