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 Parties 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 Horsham 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 £1,150 per month. … There is a difference between the Parties on what is included in the tenancy. Having closely studied the photographs provided and on the balance of probability the Tribunal concluded that a cooker was provided by the Landlord, CHI/45UF/MNR/2023/0192 but a washing machine and fridge were not so an adjustment to the rent should be made to reflect this. … A further adjustment is made to reflect minor repair issues including some minor mould issues. …
