BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 July 2024, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,550 a month, up from £1,250 a month, for a one-bedroom flat in EN3. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,305 a month after valuing the property in good condition at £1,450 a month and deducting £145 for the poor condition of the windows and lack of double glazing. It set the new rent to take effect from 1 July 2024 because it considered the increase would cause the tenant undue hardship, given a suspended possession order for rent arrears.
