BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 7 May 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,095.00 per calendar month, up from £1,000.00 per calendar month, for a three-bedroom semi-detached house in DN4. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,095.00 per calendar month, effective from 7 May 2026, relying on the landlord's comparables (mainly semi-detached houses), its own knowledge, and finding the tenant's comparables unhelpful because they gave no addresses or sourcing. It found no undue hardship to justify a later start date.

What decided it:Comparables rejectedHardship

Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
