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. It does not take into account the present rent and the period of time which that rent has been charged nor does it take into account the percentage increase which the proposed rent represents to the existing rent. In addition, the legislation makes it clear that the Tribunal cannot take into account the personal circumstances of either the landlord or the tenant. … The Tribunal assesses a rent for the Property as it is on the day of the hearing disregarding any improvements made by the tenant but taking into account the impact on rental value of any disrepair which is not due to a failure of the tenant to comply with the terms of the tenancy. … It is clear from correspondence in 2015 that he offered to vacate the garage and seek a tenant and passed the money collected directly to her. … This is an entirely different proposition to exclusive use of a property and in determining the rent the tribunal has given little weight to the Zoopla valuation, given this is almost certainly influenced by the sale of the adjacent flat which was in much better condition – and was for the flat in its entirety. …
