BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 June 2026, 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 UB3 from £1,400 a month to £1,500 a month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,400 a month, effective from 1 June 2026, relying on its own expert knowledge of local rental values because the landlord did not respond and the tenant gave no comparable rents. The tribunal said the tenant's argument based on the Universal Credit housing allowance was not a consideration, as it only determines the open market rent.
