BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 11 May 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.
In short
The landlord, BBCC Brent Ltd, proposed a rent of £2,250 a month for a two-bedroom flat in NW10, up from £1,900 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2,100 a month from 11 May 2026, reducing the landlord's figure after finding the flat needed some refurbishment and redecoration, and it gave no weight to the landlord's comparable at the neighbouring flat because its rent was significantly above the proposal and its size was not confirmed. The tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds was refused because insufficient evidence of their overall financial situation was supplied.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
