From the tribunal's valuation
At the time of this application and subsequent hearing the parties were engaging in additional judicial process through an alternative forum. For the avoidance of doubt, the Tribunal’s determination does not stray into such arena and the Tribunal makes no findings on any such matter. The Tribunal’s sole purpose in this application is to determine the appropriate rent at the pertinent date. … The Tribunal found, as a matter of fact, that the notice served by the landlord was a Notice under section 13 of the Act as prescribed by statute. … 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 current 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. … The legislation makes it clear that the Tribunal is unable to account for the personal circumstances of either the landlord or the tenant in determining the rent. … The Tribunal assesses the rent for the property as at the date of the landlord’s Notice. …
