BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 16 June 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,495 a month for a three-bedroom semi-detached house in CV23, up from £1,475 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,400 a month from 16 June 2026, relying mainly on the advertised asking rent of £1,450 a month for a virtually identical house on the same estate, which it treated as around £1,400 a month after allowing for a rebate. It gave less weight to renewal rents and to asking rents for houses elsewhere in the area, because their locations and plot details were not given.
