From the tribunal's valuation
Regarding the validity of the notice, notices served prior to 1 May 2026 when the Renters Rights Act 2025 came into force, fall under the previous legislation and the Tribunal’s jurisdiction is limited to the determination of a rent under section 14 of the 1988 Act. The Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to determine whether a section 13 Notice is valid for all purposes. That is an issue for the county court. … That is not to say that the Tribunal may not sometimes need to take a view whether a notice is valid. If it considers that a notice is invalid, it may decline to proceed until the question has been determined by the court. Conversely, if it considers that a notice is valid and that objections are without substance, it may proceed to determine the appropriate rent, but its determination will not prevent a tenant from disputing the validity of the notice. As the notice was served prior to 1 May 2026 the correct form is Form 4 and the Tribunal is satisfied that has jurisdiction to proceed to determine the appropriate rent. … The tables provided by the Tenant contain purported average rental figures and general market trend data. The information does not include details regarding the properties relied upon, such as their size, layout, condition, specification, precise location or other relevant characteristics. …
