From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal determines a market rent for a property by reference to rental values generally and to the rental values for comparable properties in the locality, in particular. The Tribunal does not take into account the present rent and the period of time for which that rent has been charged nor does it take into account the percentage increase which the proposed rent represents to the existing rent. … The Tribunal only has jurisdiction to determine the rent. The Tribunal cannot take into account the personal circumstances of either a tenant or landlord, such as the affordability of a rent for a particular tenant or a rise in the mortgage interest rate for a landlord. … The Tribunal found that the rents for studio flats in the locality are in the range of £550.00 to £650.00 per calendar month. Those at the upper end appear larger than the Property and those at the lower end are of the same or similar size, however the Tribunal took into account that independent units are liable to Council Tax and the cost of utilities in addition to the rent, whereas these items are included in the rent for the Property. … The Tribunal therefore determined the proposed rent of £575.00 per calendar month to be a reasonable market rent for the Property under the present assured shorthold periodic tenancy. …
