From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal therefore determines that the rent at which the subject property might reasonably be expected to be let in the open market by a willing Landlord under the terms of this assured tenancy is £850.00 per calendar month. … The Tribunal then considered the question of the starting date for the new rent specified in the Landlord’s Notice from the point of view of hardship to the tenant (S.14(7)). The Tenant made no representations and the Tribunal does not find a case for changing the rent start date. To reflect this the new rent of £850.00 is to start on 11 March 2020 the date specified in the Landlord’s S.13 notice.
