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, without an inspection or 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, nor is the relationship between Landlord and Tenant. … Having carefully considered the representations from the parties and associated correspondence and using its own judgement and knowledge of rental values in Kent 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 £1,650 per month. … The property is let with appropriate floor coverings, curtains, blinds and white goods included, and the Tenant has not carried out any improvements that would merit a reduction in this market rent. CHI/29UL/MNR/2021/0002 Determination 18. 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 £1,650 per month. …
