BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 20 April 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,100 a month, up from £1,050 a month, for a one-bedroom flat in SE6. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,100 a month from 20 April 2026, relying on its own knowledge and the flat's compact size and position above commercial premises, and gave little weight to the landlord's listings and valuation email. It refused the tenant's request for a later start date because no evidence of his financial circumstances was provided.
