BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 7 March 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £393.23 per fortnight, up from £357.69 per fortnight, for a three-bedroom semi-detached house in BL9. The tribunal determined a market rent of £331.38 per fortnight from 7 March 2026, having valued a modernised property in good order at £878.00 per calendar month and then deducted £160.00 for improvements and fittings provided by the tenant, giving £718.00 per calendar month (£331.38 per fortnight). The tenant had asked for a later start date on hardship grounds, but the tribunal refused it because no evidence was supplied.
