BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 25 February 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1150 a month, up from the passing rent of £1000 a month, for a one-bedroom flat in OX2. The tribunal determined a rent of £1025 a month from 25 February 2026. It started from £1100 a month for the flat in good order, based on its own knowledge of Oxford rents, and then allowed £75 a month off because half the central heating did not work and blinds were missing.
