BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 10 April 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1050 a month for an unfurnished two-bedroom house in M9, up from £975 a month. The tribunal determined the rent at £975 a month from 10 April 2026. It gave little weight to the tenant's asking-price comparables as too far from the property, valued the house at £1000 a month using its own knowledge of local rents, then deducted £25 a month for disrepair including a smoking oven, mould, a leaking soil pipe and poor insulation.
