From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal therefore determines 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 is £850.00 per calendar month. … The Tribunal then considered the question of the starting date for the new rent specified in the Landlord’s Notice from the point of view of hardship to the tenant (S.14(7)). Neither party addressed us on this issue. … The Tribunal considers that, in these extraordinary circumstances it would cause hardship to the Tenants for the starting date of the rent to be backdated. To reflect this the new rent of £850.00 per calendar month is not to start on the date specified in the Landlord’s S.13 notice (01 March 2020), but is to take effect on 01 June 2020 being the date of this determination.
