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 or 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. Therefore, the Tribunal cannot consider either the affordability of the rent for a particular tenant nor whether the rent reflects a rise in interest rates and its effect on an individual landlord’s mortgage repayments. … The Tribunal assesses a rent based upon the condition of the Property at the time of the determination. It cannot consider the period for which a property might have been in disrepair prior to work being carried out by the Landlord. Equally it cannot consider work that is said to be intended or scheduled to take place in the future nor that it has not been possible to carry out work or replace appliances because the Landlord has not been able to obtain access. The Landlord is expected to obtain the necessary access under the express or implied terms of the tenancy agreement. …
