Wales: claims for Welsh properties do not go through the English First-tier Tribunal — see the Wales note below.

Filing notes for RRO claims

  • Send the completed Form RRO1 to the email above (or the postal address) — quote the property postcode in the subject line.
  • The application fee is stated in section 10 of the form; enclose a cheque or pay by bank transfer as the form directs.
  • Later stages (reply bundle, applicant bundle) go to the same office unless directions say otherwise. GOV.UK advises confirming the regional office accepts bundles by email before sending.
  • Hearings are listed at this centre or by video; the tribunal writes with the link and time.

Wales

Properties in Wales fall under the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 scheme; RRO-type claims are decided by the Residential Property Tribunal for Wales, and landlord registration runs through Rent Smart Wales.

Ready to claim? The EvidenceCanvas RRO engine calculates the rent to reclaim (including Universal Credit and utility deductions), complete Form RRO1, and compile a bookmarked, searchable First-tier Tribunal applicant bundle. It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Priced per artifact — typical 5–6 Action Credits, about £22–£27 — not a percentage of your award.
