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 a rent of £1650.00 per month for a property in the CO4 postcode district, to take effect from 1 December 2025. The tribunal struck out the tenant's application because the landlord's notice, dated 4 November 2025, gave less than one month's notice of the increase, so it found it had no jurisdiction under sections 13 and 14 of the Housing Act 1988 to determine a rent.

Neither side gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
