BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 August 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,450 a month, up from £1,400 a month, to take effect from 1 August 2025. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,425 a month from 1 August 2025, valuing the open market rent for a property in BS34 in good tenantable condition from the comparable evidence and its own expertise and knowledge of local rents. The tenant made no representation that the start date would cause hardship, so the date in the landlord's notice was kept.

Only the tenant gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
