BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 14 May 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord, Insight Letting Limited, proposed a rent of £860 a month, up from £850 a month, for a three-bedroom house in FY1. The tribunal determined a market rent of £800 a month from 14 May 2026, relying on three comparable properties provided by the tenant, all advertised or let at £800 a month, and on its own expertise. The decision refers to £820 a month for the property if modernised and in good order but does not explain the difference to the £800 a month figure it determined.

Only the tenant gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
