46 Blackhorse Lane, Hitchin, Hertfordshire, SG4 9EN
Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 14 July 2025Case CAM/26UF/MNR/2025/0670
No rent was set
The application was struck out, so the tribunal did not set a rent. This most often happens when the landlord's notice was invalid or the tribunal had no jurisdiction.
In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent from £2000 per month to £2150 per month from 27 April 2025. The tribunal struck out the application because the notice's start date was not the beginning of a rental period (the rent is payable on the 25th of each month), so it had no jurisdiction to determine a rent. The existing rent of £2000 per month continues until a valid notice of increase is served.
Neither side gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
