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 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. This rent is normally above any rent charged by a social landlord, such as the Landlord in this case. Rents charges within the open market are normally on a monthly basis. The personal circumstances of the Tenant are not relevant to this issue. … The Directions issued by the Tribunal on 6th July 2022 were specific in that this the Tribunal is only considering a market rent for the property under s13 and s14 of the Housing Act 1988. The Tribunal has considered the information within the additional application forms in so far as they affect the market rent. … The original tenancy agreement was an Assured Shorthold Tenancy for a fixed period. The Tenant continued to occupy the property after the end of the original tenancy period, in which case it automatically became an Assured Periodic Tenancy. …
