From the tribunal's valuation
Having given consideration to the comparable evidence provided by the parties and of its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, the Tribunal determines that the open market rent for the property in good tenable condition would be £1,650 per calendar month. … Such a tenancy would normally include white goods, carpets, curtains/blinds and associated fittings to all be provided by the Landlord. … In this case the property is let in such condition as evidenced by photographs provided, and with white goods, carpets and curtains all supplied, so no adjustment to the full ‘open market rent’ is appropriate. … 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. … The Tenant made no representation that the starting date for the new rent specified in the Landlord’s notice would cause the Tenant undue hardship. … Accordingly, the Tribunal directed that the new rent of £1,650 per month should take effect from 2nd October 2024, this being the date specified in the notice.
