BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 28 March 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,210 a month for a two-bedroom flat in M22, up from £1,100 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,150 a month from 28 March 2026, relying on its own knowledge of local rents and the tenant's single comparable at £1,100 a month, as the landlord made no submissions. The tribunal rejected the tenant's argument that the notice was invalid because it was dated 2025, treating this as a clerical slip.
