BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 17 November 2024, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom house in E13 from £1,750 a month to £1,900 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,805 a month, effective from 17 November 2024. It put the open-market rent for the property in good condition at around £1,850 a month, then deducted 2.5% for the property's defects and the lack of a kitchen radiator, relying mainly on its own knowledge of local rents because the parties' evidence was of little assistance.
