Rent tribunal decisions: September 2026

191 rent decisions made by the First-tier Tribunal in September 2026: 70 under the Renters’ Rights Act rules, 107 under the earlier rules and 14 fair rents.

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.

73% cut

Of 59 new-rules decisions in these decisions, 43 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.

16 with no increase

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