BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 June 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,075 a month, up from £910 a month, for a two-bedroom flat in DE22. The tribunal determined a rent of £920 a month, preferring the tenants' comparable lettings on the same development to the landlord's comparables, which it found were for over-55s or higher-specification properties, and deducting £15 a month for unrepaired damage from a water leak. It also set the new rent to start on 1 June 2026 instead of 1 May 2026 because of hardship to the tenants.
