BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 19 June 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.
In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £220 a week for a three-bedroom unfurnished house in B13. The tribunal determined a rent of £138 a week from 19 June 2025, because the house was in very poor condition and lacked a cooking facility, carpets, curtains and white goods, so it did not find any increase justified.
