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 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 cannot take into account the personal circumstances of either the Landlord or the Tenant. … The Tribunal assesses a rent based on the condition of the Property as at the time of the determination. … The Tribunal took into account the rental values for similar properties provided by the Landlord and the Tribunal added to these the knowledge and experience of its members. … The Tribunal accepted that had the Property been in good condition with an updated kitchen a rent in the region of £1,200.00 to £1,250.00 would be appropriate. However, taking account of the tired décor and the poor condition of the kitchenette the Tribunal determined a rent of £1,125.00 per calendar month. The Tribunal was of the opinion that in the absence of evidence section 14(7) Housing Act 1988, regarding hardship was not applicable and that the rent should commence on the date specified in the Notice of Increase. …
