From the tribunal's valuation
All other evidence has been disregarded. … With regard to the validity of the Landlord’s Notice, the Tribunal does not consider that an oral arrangement to pay the rent on a date different to that specified in the lease is material on this occasion. As such, the Tribunal is satisfied that the Landlord’s Notice is valid. … In determining the market rent, the Tribunal has had regard to prevailing levels of rent in the general locality and achieved rental values in respect of other properties of comparable accommodation and provision that would be likely to be considered by a prospective tenant. The current rent and the period that has passed since that rent was agreed or determined is not relevant. … The legislation requires the Tribunal to have regard to market demand assuming that the landlord is willing. The Tribunal is therefore unable to have any regard to the personal circumstances or identities of the actual landlord and tenant in assessing the level of rent. … The actual occupation of the Property is not relevant as it is considered to be vacant so that it can be occupied immediately, and the Tribunal has regard to the competing bids of hypothetical rather than actual prospective tenants. In addition, it is assumed that the Tenant has complied with their repair/ decoration/maintenance covenants. …
