BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 6 August 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,950 a month in place of the existing £1,650 a month, and the tribunal determined £1,700 a month from 6 August 2025. The tribunal started from an open market rent of £2,000 a month for the flat in good tenantable condition, then deducted about 15% (£300 a month) for tired décor, floor coverings and defective windows. It treated the property as a one-bedroom flat in N15, despite the landlord's view that it had two bedrooms, and relied in part on its own knowledge of rental values in the area.
