BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 27 June 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1030 a month, up from £980 a month, for a two-bedroom flat in M30. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1030 a month from 27 June 2026, giving the most weight to confirmed rents at Aqueduct Way, which it found similar in layout and location. It made no reduction for the ventilation and air-conditioning complaint, as compensation had been agreed, and found the tenant's unsupported affordability claim did not show undue hardship.

Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
