BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 5 August 2024, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,300 a month, up from £875 a month, for a three-bedroom house in EX1. With no comparable rental evidence from either party, the tribunal used its own expert knowledge to value the property, then made a 15% deduction because the kitchen and bathroom fittings and some carpets were dated or in poor repair. It determined a rent of £1,105 a month, effective from 5 August 2024.
