BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 21 October 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.
In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1900.00 per month, in place of the existing rent of £1278.75 per month, for a three-bedroom house in UB4. The tribunal determined a rent of £1680.00 per month, starting from a figure of £2100.00 per month for the house in good contemporary letting condition and then making a 20% deduction for its condition, the white goods and carpets the tenant provided, and the tenant's repairing obligation. The tribunal also found undue hardship and set the new rent to take effect from 13 March 2026 rather than the 21 October 2025 date in the notice.
Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
