BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 28 February 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,550 a month, up from £1,150 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,400 a month for a one-bedroom unfurnished flat in IG1, taking effect from 28 February 2025 rather than the proposed 30 November 2024. It relied on the landlord's comparables in the range of £1,500 to £1,700 and its own knowledge of local rental values, and delayed the start date because backdating to 30 November 2024 would cause the tenant undue hardship.
