BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 20 July 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord asked for a rent of £1900.00 per calendar month for a two-bedroom maisonette in SE1, up from £1523.00 per calendar month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1900.00 per calendar month, but from 20 July 2026 rather than the proposed 1 June 2026, because it accepted the increase would cause the tenant undue hardship. The tribunal based its valuation on the landlord's comparables, excluding the last five in the list, and its own expertise.
