BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 May 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £750.00 per calendar month, up from £575.00 per calendar month. The tribunal determined a rent of £700.00 per calendar month from 1 May 2026 for a two-bedroom house in DN38. It valued the property at £875.00 per calendar month in modernised, good order, then deducted 20% for the grant-funded heat pump, insulation and double glazing, and gave reduced weight to comparables far from the property; the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds was refused for lack of evidence.
