No. 3 Melbourne Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk, NR32 1SR
Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 24 February 2026Case CAM/42UJ/MNR/2026/0020
No rent was set
The application was struck out, so the tribunal did not set a rent. This most often happens when the landlord's notice was invalid or the tribunal had no jurisdiction.
In short
The landlord asked to raise the rent for a property in NR32 from £700 a month to £825 a month. The tribunal struck out the application because the notice gave 3 February 2026 as the new rent date, but the rent is payable on the 5th of each month and the notice did not start at the beginning of a rental period, so it was not valid and the tribunal had no jurisdiction to set a rent. The existing £700 a month continues until a valid notice is served.
