Decisions where the market was above the landlord’s notice
New-rules decisions where the tribunal valued the home above the proposed rent but could only award the notice figure.
Why it matters
Under the new rules the notice is a ceiling. Here the tribunal said the home was worth more, and the landlord is held to the lower figure for at least a year.
Of 9 new-rules decisions in these decisions, 5 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.
