BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 25 February 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,600 a month for a two-bedroom flat in TW15, up from the existing £1,500 a month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,500 a month from 25 February 2026, starting from £1,550 a month and deducting £50 for the tenants' internal decoration and minor repair duties and for disrepair to the common areas, garage and bin area. Neither party provided rental evidence, so the tribunal relied on its own expertise and general knowledge.
