Why it matters

A monthly snapshot of what the tribunal decided. Decisions are published weeks after they are made, so the latest months keep filling in; counts here are by decision date.

56% cut

Of 36 new-rules decisions in these decisions, 20 set the rent below the landlord’s notice. Under the new rules a challenge can only lower the rent.

4 asked too little

The tribunal valued the home above the notice but could only award the notice figure. Under-pricing is now a 12-month ceiling.

6 with no increase

New-rules decisions where the rent was held at, or set below, what the tenant already paid.
