From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal first considered whether it felt able to reasonably and fairly decide this case based on the papers submitted only with no oral hearing. Having read and considered the papers it decided that it could do so. … The Tribunal also considered whether the submission from the Landlords, which was 2 days late, should be excluded. The Tribunal did not consider that the CAM/34UD/MNR/2025/0686 Tenant’s case had been jeopardised nor that the Tenant had been placed at a disadvantage by this short delay and that it was in the best interest of the Parties for the Tribunal to assess a new rent. … Once an application is received the Tribunal is required to determine the rent at which the subject property might reasonably be expected to be let in the open market by a willing Landlord under an assured tenancy. The personal circumstances of the Parties are not relevant to this issue. … Such an open market letting would be for a tenantable property in good order with the Landlords responsible for internal decoration and on the basis that carpets, curtains and white goods would all be provided by the Landlords. … In this case the Tribunal finds that the decking as evidenced in the photographs is in a dangerous condition and there are several general wants of repair as listed by the Tenant. … Accordingly, the Tribunal determines that full open market rent should be adjusted as follows. …
