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 a rent of £1,630 a month, up from the existing £1,550 a month, for a two-bedroom furnished flat in MK10. The tribunal determined the open-market rent at £1,550 a month, the same as the existing rent, so the rent will not increase. It said some comparables advertised below £1,550 were not exact matches for the flat, which has two bathrooms, a balcony, parking and furnishings, and it applied its own knowledge and expertise. The landlord did not respond.
