Flat 4, 4 St Andrews Road South, Lytham St Anne's, Lancashire, FY8 1SR
Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 4 August 2026Case MAN/30UF/MNR/2026/0350
No rent was set
The application was struck out, so the tribunal did not set a rent. This most often happens when the landlord's notice was invalid or the tribunal had no jurisdiction.
In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent from £475 a month to £550 a month for a flat in FY8. The tribunal struck out the application because it found the notice invalid: it held that the notice was served on the tenant on 1 May 2026, when the new rules applied, and gave less than the two months' notice required before the 20 June 2026 start date.
Neither side gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
