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 consider the present rent or the period for which that rent has been charged, nor does it consider the percentage increase which the proposed rent represents to the existing rent. … The Tribunal only has jurisdiction to determine the rent. The Tribunal cannot consider 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. … The Tribunal noted the properties which the Landlord submitted as being comparable and their respective rents. It added to this the knowledge and experience of its members. It found that rental values for properties in the area which are of similar age and character are in the region of £323.00 per week. …
