From the tribunal's valuation
In addition, the Tenant submits that the proposed increase date of Wednesday 20 May 2026 is not valid as the date the original tenancy commenced was a Tuesday. … The Tribunal noted that the original tenancy agreement is a single page document that does not appear to be professionally drafted and suffers from a lack of clarity. On the one hand, rent is payable weekly. On the other hand, the agreement says that after the initial three-month term, the tenancy would continue on a ‘running monthly contract’. The starting date of the tenancy term is not stated explicitly, but the only signature on the document is dated 19 August 2008. … The Tribunal, therefore, considers that the initial tenancy ran for three months from 19 August 2008, after which, a periodic tenancy arose from 19 November 2008 and renewing monthly on the 19th of each month. … The Landlord’s notice of increase proposes the new rent should take effect from 20 May 2026. Based on the previous paragraph, 20 May 2026 was not the beginning of a period of the tenancy meaning that the Landlord’s notice does not, in the view of the Tribunal, accord with the requirements of the Housing Act 1988.
