BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 29 May 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom flat in NW8 from £2700 per month to £2925 per month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £2700 per month from 29 May 2026, so the rent does not increase. It started from £2975 per month for the flat in good order, made deductions of £125, £25 and £125 for damp and mould, a faulty intercom and the condition of the property and furniture, and found the tenant's comparables were not of the same amenity.
