From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal determines a market rent for a property by reference to rental values generally and, in particular, to the rental values for comparable properties in the immediate locality. The Tribunal has no regard to the prevailing 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 passing rent. In addition, the legislation makes it clear that the Tribunal is unable to account for the personal circumstances of either the landlord or the tenant. … The Tribunal assesses the rent for the property as at the date of the landlord’s Notice and on the terms of the extant tenancy. The Tribunal disregards any improvements made by the tenant but has regard to the impact on rental value of disrepair which is not due to a failure of the tenant to comply with the terms of the tenancy. … In valuing the property as at the relevant date, the Tribunal disregarded the Applicant’s assertion that the property qualified for a repair and improvement grant up to the value of £10,000. No evidence was submitted concerning the grant or as to the landlord’s reasoning for not pursuing the matter. …
