BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 15 July 2026, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £675 a month for a first-floor room with an en-suite bathroom in a shared house in LS6, and the tenant did not attend the remote hearing. The tribunal determined a market rent of £650 a month from 15 July 2026. It relied on the landlord's comparables, two non-en-suite rooms in the same building let at £625 and £600 a month, adding £25 a month for the en-suite and a slightly better location, and gave little weight to the tenant's comparables, which were not supported by specific evidence.

What decided it:Comparables rejectedLocation

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
