520 _aR appealed against the decision of the Court of Appeal's decision (L136334) that rent increases implemented upon W were invalid. The appeal had been allowed on ground that the notices issued did not conform to the contractual rent variation date in the tenancy agreement. The Lords noted three aspects of this case which set it apart from most cases of this type. The tenancies were not of the standard commercial type, as the landlord was a registered charity and housing association. W were therefore most likely poorly off individuals with little experience of legal matters. The drafting of the clauses in the tenancy agreement were also of a unique type. "Held": The appeal was allowed. It was found that the contract's clauses regarding the date of rent increases were not binding.
