Rent tribunal decisions with no increase, or a lower rent
Decisions where the tribunal held the rent at, or set it below, what the tenant already paid.
Why it matters
The tribunal values the home as it is. Disrepair, missing facilities or a weak evidence pack can take the rent below what is being paid now.
Of 29 new-rules decisions in these decisions, 29 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.
