BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 17 January 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,200 a month for a two-bedroom flat in HP11, up from £700 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £750 a month, effective from 17 January 2025. It based the figure on the flat's dated kitchen and bathroom, damp-prone solid walls, inconvenient layout, lack of off-street parking and mixed commercial location, and, as neither party gave evidence of specific comparable rents, on its own knowledge and experience; it set the later start date on hardship grounds.
