Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 29 September 2025Case LON/00AP/MNR/2025/0732

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, through its agent, proposed raising the rent of a mid-terraced house in N4 from £2,100 a month to £3,250 a month. The tribunal had no jurisdiction to determine the rent because the notice, addressed to only two of the three tenants, was invalid, so the rent stays at £2,100 a month. It said that, had it had jurisdiction, it would have found £2,100 a month to be the market rent, because damp and mould meant the property could only be treated as a three-bedroom home and the landlord's larger, better-quality comparables did not justify £3,250 a month.

What decided it:Property conditionComparables rejected

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
