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

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,100 a month, up from £1,200 a month, for a one-bedroom flat in NW10. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,600 a month from 6 May 2026, finding that the landlord did not respond or provide any evidence and that neither party gave comparable rental evidence. It relied on the tenant's offer of £1,600 a month and its own knowledge of local rents, and refused the tenant's request for a later start date because it was not shown that the determined rent would cause undue hardship.
