In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a room in NN6 from £110 per week to £170 per week. The parties agreed a rent of £150 per week, which the tribunal recorded, with effect from 1 June 2026 rather than 30 January 2026. The tribunal said backdating such a large increase would cause the tenant undue hardship.
