BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 11 April 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £2,100 a month for a ground-floor property in SW14, up from £1,650 a month. The tribunal determined the rent at £1,700 a month from 11 April 2026, the figure the parties had agreed was currently payable, after the landlord said he did not wish to charge £2,100 and accepted the rent could stay at £1,700. The tribunal found the notice valid and that the increase would not cause the tenants undue hardship.

The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
