Old Keepers Cottage, Collins End, Reading Berkshire RG8 7RN
Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 18 December 2025Case CAM/38UD/MDR/2025/0601
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 served a notice proposing a rent of £2,750 a month, in place of the £2,000 a month stated in the notice, for a property in RG8. The tribunal found the notice invalid because the rent had already been increased to £2,250 a month from 1 January 2025 under an earlier unchallenged notice, and a new increase could not take effect before 1 January 2026. With no valid notice there was nothing to determine, so the rent stays at £2,250 a month.
