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

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent for a three-bedroom house in PO10 from £1,600 a month to £1,750 a month. The tribunal decided without a hearing that the notice was valid and set the market rent at £1,750 per calendar month from 1 June 2026, relying on the landlord's comparable lettings and its own knowledge of local rents. The tenant made no case for hardship, so the start date in the notice stood.

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
