BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 15 June 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,750 a month, up from £2,250 a month, for a two-bedroom maisonette in NW4. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,750 a month from 15 June 2026, relying on the landlord's comparable lettings and its own knowledge of market rents in the London Borough of Barnet, and found no defects at the property. The tenants' claim of hardship was not supported by any evidence, so the tribunal made no change to the start date.

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
