    "backdating": "Abolished. The new rent runs from the tribunal's decision or the notice date, whichever is later, so the months a case takes are never billed retrospectively.",

    "Check the notice. A rent increase for an assured tenancy can only be made by a section 13 notice giving at least two months, no earlier than 52 weeks after the last increase. Two of the thirty cases here were thrown out because the notice itself was invalid, one because it was emailed when the tenancy required post.",
    "Diarise the start date in the notice. That is your deadline. You must apply before it, even if your evidence is not ready.",
    "Gather comparables: adverts for similar lets nearby, photographs of every room, and photographs and dates for any disrepair. The single commonest outcome in these thirty cases is a claim failing for lack of evidence.",
    "Apply on form MR1, online or by post, with the £47 fee unless exempt. The landlord then has 28 days.",
    "Expect a paper decision. All twenty eight readable cases here were decided on the papers without a hearing. You can insist on a hearing if you want one.",
    "If the increase would cause you real hardship, say so with evidence: bank statements, benefit letters, bills. Deferrals were granted in five of these cases, every one of them on documents, and refused in eight for the lack of them.",
    "The tribunal cannot punish you for applying. The worst outcome under the new law is paying exactly what the landlord asked, from a date no earlier than the decision."
