BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 1 August 2025, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.
In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a room in a seven-bed house in multiple occupation in CR0 from £550 a month to £750 a month. The tribunal, deciding on the papers without an inspection, set the rent at £700 a month from 1 August 2025, having valued the room in good tenantable condition at £720 a month and deducted £20 a month for garden maintenance. The full reasons also refer to mould and the lack of central heating as adjustments, but the valuation shows no separate deduction for these.
Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
