BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 15 November 2024, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a one-bedroom flat in NW3 from £1,450 a month to £1,950 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,850 a month, taking effect on 15 November 2024, relying on comparable evidence from both parties, particularly a Belsize Avenue comparable provided by the landlord. The tribunal was satisfied that the starting date in the landlord's notice could cause the tenant undue hardship, and the later start date reflects that finding.

What decided it:Hardship

Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
