BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 15 June 2024, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.
In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £2,500 a month for a two-bedroom flat in W14, and the tribunal determined a rent of £1,900 a month from 15 June 2024. The tribunal first valued a similar two-bedroom flat in reasonable condition at £2,500 a month, drawing on the landlord's comparables and its own expertise, then reduced it for the lack of central heating, the faulty dishwasher, extractor fan and hob, and the general condition of the bathrooms, double glazing, furniture and carpet.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
