Section 14 of the Housing Act 1988 requires the Tribunal to determine the rent at which it considers the Property might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market by a willing landlord under an assured tenancy, on the terms of the subject tenancy other than as to rent, and disregarding the matters set out in section 14(2). Those disregards include any effect on the rent attributable to the fact that the Tenants are sitting tenants, and any increase in value attributable to a relevant improvement carried out by the Tenant. … The Tribunal is grateful to both parties for the comparable evidence they have provided. All of the evidence relied upon by both parties (other than the four lettings in Osbourne Court) consists of advertised asking rents rather than achieved rents.

From this level of rent, the Tribunal has made the following adjustments in relation to the following: a) Tenant improvements b) The defective laminate flooring. …
