53 Hutton Avenue, Hartlepool, TS26 9PW
Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 21 September 2026Case MAN/00EB/MNR/2026/0353
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 raising the rent of a property in TS26 from £1155.00 per calendar month to £1355.00 per calendar month. The tribunal struck out the application because the tenant referred the notice on 27 June 2026, after the proposed start date of 20 May 2026, and the Housing Act 1988 requires referral before that date; the tribunal said it had no flexibility to vary this requirement.
