Struck outNew rulesDecided 11 August 2026Case BIR/00CR/MRA/2026/0026

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 property in the DY5 postcode district from £373 a month to £430 a month. The tribunal struck out the application because the rent increase notice was invalid: the new rent was to start on 13 July 2026, which was not the beginning of a tenancy period. No rent was determined.
