BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 30 March 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a one-bedroom part-furnished flat in NE3 from £900 a month to £950 a month. The tribunal determined the rent at £950 a month from 30 March 2026, preferring the landlord's achieved rents for similar-sized flats on the same floor to the tenant's comparables, which it said were a useful indicator of lettings in the development.

What decided it:Comparables rejected

Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
