Tenant 4 Subsequent to the application the tenant sought to withdraw it. A copy was sent to the landlord and filed at the Tribunal Office. Landlord 5 The landlord was informed of the tenant’s request. The Tribunal received no representations from the landlord. Tribunal Rules 6 7 8 Rule 22 (3) of the Tribunal Procedure (First tier Tribunal) (Property Chamber) Rules 2013 (SI2013:1169) applies here.

The sole applicant sought to withdraw. The Tribunal alone, needs to consent. The landlord was informed but, is not party to such. The Tribunal herewith confirms the application as withdrawn. Chairman N Martindale FRICS Date 21 May 2026 2 Rights of appeal By rule 36(2) of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Property Chamber) Rules 2013, the tribunal is required to notify the parties about any right of appeal they may have. If either party is dissatisfied with this decision, they may apply for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) on any point of law arising from this Decision. Prior to making such an appeal, an application must be made, in writing, to this Tribunal for permission to appeal. Any such application must be made within 28 days of the issue of this decision to the person making the application (regulation 52 (2) of The Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Property Chamber) Rule 2013). If the application is not made within the 28-day time limit, such application must include a request for an extension of time and the reason for not complying with the 28 day time limit; the tribunal will then look at such reason(s) and decide whether to allow the application for permission to appeal to proceed, despite not being within the time limit. The application for permission to appeal must identify the decision of the tribunal to which it relates (i.e., give the date, the property, and the case number), state the grounds of appeal and state the result the party making the application is seeking. If the tribunal refuses to grant permission to appeal, a further application for permission may be made to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber). 3
