BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 9 May 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,150 a month for a two-bedroom flat in MK10, up from £1,100 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,250 a month from 9 May 2026, above the landlord's proposal. It based this on the landlord's comparables, which indicated £1,300 a month for the property in good order, less £50 a month for poor upkeep of the shared bin store, security door and streetlight, and it found the tenant's comparable out of date.
