BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 13 February 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1765.00 per calendar month (pcm), up from £1698.00 pcm. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1710.00 pcm from 13 February 2026 for a one-bedroom first-floor flat in HA1, valued as in good order and partly furnished. It relied on its own expert knowledge and general knowledge of local rents because the landlord provided no rental information, and it noted the flat faces north-east with less natural light.
