BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 24 December 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed increasing the rent of a two-bedroom flat in BN10 from £1,200 a month to £1,250 a month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,200 a month, so there is no increase, effective from 24 December 2025. It started from £1,300 a month for the flat in modernised, good order and deducted £100 a month for the tenants' provision of a carpet, disrepair and dated condition, the tenants' minor jobs and decorating obligations, and mould growth with its loss of amenity.
