Flat 15, 2, Newsom Road, Huddersfield, HD4 6NY
BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 18 April 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.
In short
The landlord, Next Move 4U, proposed raising the rent for a small room in an HD4 house of 17 similar rooms from £434 a month to £534 a month. The tribunal inspected and decided there should be no increase, so the rent stays at £434 a month from 18 April 2025. Neither side supplied comparables, so the tribunal used advertised rooms and its own knowledge, noting the room is smaller than similar lettings and the kitchen and laundry are in the basement some distance away.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
