Rent increase notices struck out or challenged as invalid

Decisions where the tribunal struck out the case because the notice was invalid, or where validity was argued.

Filter these 320 decisions

Why it matters

An invalid notice never takes effect. The landlord serves again and loses at least two months, and longer if nobody spots the defect until the tribunal.

78% cut

Of 23 new-rules decisions in these decisions, 18 set the rent below the landlord’s notice. Under the new rules a challenge can only lower the rent.

1 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.

7 with no increase

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