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 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. … Rents for residential property are normally quoted and charged on a monthly basis. … Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence, and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in Southsea, 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 £1,350 per month. … However, the property is not let in a condition that is usual in the open market so a number of adjustments to this figure are necessary. … The Tenant made no representation that the starting date for the new rent specified in the Landlord’s notice would cause the Tenant undue hardship. CHI/29UE/MNR/2023/0162 Determination 20. …
