BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 15 March 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,700 per calendar month, up from £1,250 per calendar month, for a one-bedroom flat in E10. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,450 per calendar month from 15 March 2026, relying on its own expert and knowledge of local rents because the tenant gave no rental evidence and the landlord did not reply. It made no deduction for the minor repairs raised by the tenant and refused a later start date because no evidence of hardship was provided.
