BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 November 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,300 a month, up from £1,000 a month, for a three-bedroom semi-detached house in M19. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,300 a month from 1 November 2025, the same figure the landlord proposed. It valued the property at £1,400 a month if modernised and in good order, then deducted £100 a month for its unmodernised condition and disrepair, including peeling paint, leak damage, mould and a shower out of service.
