From the tribunal's valuation
In determining the market rent, the Tribunal has 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 Tribunal notes that Section 5 of the lease does not include any obligation on the part of the Landlord to maintain any part of the Property. In contrast, Section 4.2 of the lease clearly sets out the Tenant’s obligations in respect of repair. … In this regard, the Tribunal is required by section 14 (2) (c) of the 1988 Act, as set out above, to assume that the Tenant has fully complied with the terms of the Tenancy. In effect, the Tribunal assesses the market rent of the Property on the assumption that it is in the same physical state as existed on commencement of the lease. …
