Room 3, Chideock Hill Cottage Chideock Bridport, Dorset, DT6 6JW
Struck outPre-Act rulesDecided 22 July 2026Case HAV/00HR/MNR/2026/0162
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 proposed raising the rent for a room in a shared four-bedroom house in DT6 from £550 a month to £600 a month. The tribunal struck out the application because the notice's proposed start date of 5 June 2026 did not fall at the beginning of a rental period, so it had no jurisdiction to determine a market rent. The landlord is not precluded from serving a fresh, valid notice.
