From the tribunal's valuation
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 Tenant are not relevant to this issue. … Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in Swindon 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 £850 per month. … From the evidence supplied it is clear that the property is not in such a condition and some adjustment to this market rent should be made to reflect the condition of the property at today’s date. … In addition, the Tribunal needs to reflect the Tenant’s provision of white goods, carpets and curtains and the dated fittings in the kitchen and bathroom. … The Tenant made no representation that the starting date for the new rent specified in the Landlord’s notice would cause the Tenant undue
