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

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent from £1,375 a month to £1,425 a month for a three-bedroom fully furnished flat in M16. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,425 a month, effective from 15 June 2026, relying on the landlord's comparable lettings in the same block and giving no weight to the tenant's single comparable, which it found too geographically distant. It refused the tenant's request for a later start date, finding the hardship claim unsupported by documents and inconsistent with the tenant looking to buy a property.

What decided it:Comparables rejectedHardship

Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
