From the tribunal's valuation
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 Tenant are not relevant to this issue. … Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in North Somerset the Tribunal decided that the market rent for the subject property if let today in a condition that was usual for such an open market letting would be £875.00 per month. … This figure should be adjusted to reflect the ways in which the property differs from the condition and fittings normally provided by a landlord in an open market letting, for any substantial repair issues and to reflect any tenants improvements. … Using its experience the Tribunal decided that the Tenants provision of the shed and garden edging would have no material effect on the rental value. The Tribunal had insufficient evidence to decide whether the shower screen had been replaced due to damage or because the Landlord had insisted that he was not prepared to accept a bath provided by the Tenant. …
