BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 21 February 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlords proposed a rent of £1,150 a month, up from £1,075 a month, for a two-bedroom flat in RG24. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,150 a month, effective from 21 February 2025, the same figure as proposed. It based this on comparable lettings from both parties and its own knowledge of local rents, and found no adjustment was needed because the flat was in good tenantable condition.

Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
