From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal is required to determine the rent at which the Property might reasonably be expected to be let in the open market by a willing landlord, in accordance with section 14 of the Housing Act 1988. The determination is made on the statutory assumptions in section 14, including that the tenancy is a periodic tenancy with the same rental periods and on the same terms, save as to the amount of rent. … No comparable lettings evidence was provided by either party. The Tribunal has therefore determined the rent by reference to the material before it, including the description and photographs of the Property, the terms of the tenancy, the statutory assumptions and disregards in section 14, and its own knowledge and specialist expertise, including the professional expertise of its valuer member. … The Tribunal has considered the characteristics of the Property, including its size, accommodation and amenities, together with the photographic evidence. The Property is a three-bedroom semi-detached house with a living/dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, one en-suite, a family bathroom, a downstairs WC, rear garden and driveway. … However, no independent evidence, inspection report, repair correspondence, photographs clearly evidencing mould, or other supporting material was provided from which the Tribunal could make any quantified deduction from the open market rent. …
