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. … Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in the Portsmouth area, 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 £490 per month. … The Tribunal considered the property is let in such a condition as would command this full rent and there is no need to make an adjustment to this full rent. … The Tenant made no representations that the starting date for the new rent specified in the Landlord’s notice would cause undue hardship. Determination 20. The Tribunal therefore decided 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 was £490 per month. …
