Wellhouse Farm, Mount Bures CO8 5BA
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 CO8 postcode district from £1,050 a month to £1,250 a month. The tribunal struck out the tenant's application because the notice proposed a start date of 28 May 2025, which was not the start of a new rental period (the tenancy's periods began on the 24th of each month), so the notice was invalid and the tribunal had no jurisdiction. The tribunal said the existing rent of £1,050 a month continues to be payable unless and until a new valid notice is served.
