Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 10 July 2026Case MAN/30UG/MNR/2026/0182
No rent was set
The application was struck out, so the tribunal did not set a rent. This most often happens when the landlord's notice was invalid or the tribunal had no jurisdiction.
In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a property in BB1 from £650 a month to £950 a month. The tribunal declined to determine the rent because it had no jurisdiction: the tenancy is still in its fixed three-year term and is not yet periodic, so section 13 of the Housing Act 1988 does not apply. It said the rent should be determined in accordance with the terms of the tenancy agreement.
