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 first considered the original notice which specified an incorrect present rent and was dated October 2024, which the Tribunal took to be October 2023. Whilst the notice was defective in respect of these points the Tribunal did not consider that it was sufficiently so to justify a dismissal. The main point of the notice is to give notice of a new rent and the date from which the new rent would apply. … The Tribunal also considered the Tenant’s application that the case be dismissed because the Landlord had not made any submissions by the date specified in the CHI/00HG/MNR/2024/0051 Directions. Neither party is required to make a submission if they do not wish to do so but the Tribunal may proceed to a decision based on the information that has been provided. Accordingly the application to dismiss the case is refused. … 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 Parties are not relevant to this issue. …
