24 rent decisions made by the First-tier Tribunal in October 2026: 11 under the Renters’ Rights Act rules, 13 under the earlier rules and 0 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.
Of 9 new-rules decisions in these decisions, 6 set the rent below the landlord’s notice. Under the new rules a challenge can only lower the rent.
The tribunal valued the home above the notice but could only award the notice figure. Under-pricing is now a 12-month ceiling.
New-rules decisions where the rent was held at, or set below, what the tenant already paid.
