What the decision shows

Under the Renters’ Rights Act rules the new rent starts from the first rent day on or after the decision, with no backdating, so the landlord also lost the increase for the months the case took.

The case was struck out because the notice was not valid. An invalid notice never takes effect: the landlord has to serve again and wait at least two more months.
