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. … In accordance with section 14 (5) the Tribunal considers the rental value alone. The payment of the Council Tax in this instance is a separate arrangement between the parties. … The Tribunal also cannot consider whether an eviction notice under Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988 has or has not been served or any allegations regarding harassment. Its sole jurisdiction under this Application is to determine a market rent for the Property. … The Tribunal considered the properties which the Landlord submitted as being comparable to the Property. …
