BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 6 April 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord, L & Q Housing Trust, served a notice proposing a rent of £196.32 per calendar week in place of £160.67 per week for a one-bedroom flat in SE13. The tribunal decided on the papers, without a hearing or inspection, that the market rent was £346 per calendar week from 6 April 2026. It relied on its own knowledge of Lewisham rental values, as neither side provided comparable lettings, and made no deduction; it noted the tenant's real dispute was about the service charge element, which is a separate matter.
