BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 23 June 2025, 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 flat in NG10 from £450 a month to £750 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £650 a month, effective from 23 June 2025. It relied on its own expertise and general knowledge of local rental values, finding the landlord's four comparables unhelpful because they gave no addresses and their type and condition could not be shown to be comparable.

What decided it:Comparables rejected
