Rent tribunal decisions that cut the proposed rent

Published decisions where the First-tier Tribunal set the rent below the landlord’s proposal, with the size of the cut and the reasons on GOV.UK.

Filter these 1,381 decisions

Why it matters

A cut usually means the landlord’s evidence did not support the figure: asking rents instead of achieved lets, homes that were not comparable, or condition the landlord did not allow for.

100% cut

Of 85 new-rules decisions in these decisions, 85 set the rent below the landlord’s notice. Under the new rules a challenge can only lower the rent.

5 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.

29 with no increase

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