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. … Whilst sympathetic to the disturbance caused by the construction of an additional house and the loss of garden area 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 as at the date of the Tribunal. The personal circumstances of the Landlord nor Tenant are not relevant to this issue. CHI/00HC/MNR/2021/0053 19. Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in Weston-super-Mare 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 £795 per month. … However, the property is not let in such condition as would be expected in the open market and adjustments should be made to reflect the Tenant’s provision of curtains, the Tenant’s provision of white goods other than a cooker and the dated fittings to Bathroom and Kitchen. …
