HAV/29UD/MNR/2025/0798 10. The Tenant made no representation that the starting date for the new rent specified in the Landlord’s notice would cause the Tenant undue hardship. … Accordingly, the Tribunal directed that the new rent of £2,350 per month should take effect from 1st December 2025, this being the date specified in the notice.
