BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 February 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,800 a month for a two-bedroom flat in N7, to start on 1 August 2025. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,875 a month, starting on 1 February 2026, because it found the notice's start date would cause the tenant undue hardship. It started from an open-market figure of £2,500 a month for the flat in good tenantable condition and reduced it by about 25% for defects and condition, including tired décor, defective windows and a dated kitchen and bathroom.
