Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 8 July 2026Case MAN/00BY/MNR/2026/0158
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 £1,420.04 a month for a property in L5, up from £1,355.00 a month. The tribunal struck out the application because the tenancy agreement contains a binding rent review clause allowing increases during its first 12 months, which takes it outside section 13 of the Housing Act 1988 and means the tribunal has no jurisdiction to set a market rent.
