Flat 7, 146 Middleton Hall Road, Birmingham, B30 1DN
BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 24 May 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 B30 from £595 a month to £750 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £615 a month, effective from 24 May 2026, starting from a £750 a month market rent and deducting £65 for condition, £20 for lack of exclusive white goods and £50 for the part gas and part electric heating. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start date because its rent was lower than the landlord's proposal and the repairs had already been reflected in it.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
