Flat 3 Elm Court Elm Lane Tonbridge Kent TN10 3DR

From the tribunal's valuation

The Tribunal first considered whether the Notice of Rent Increase was valid. Although the address in the Notice was stated as 3 Elm Court rather than Flat 3 Elm Court, the Tribunal determined that the address, when read together with the postcode, sufficiently identified the Property. The Tribunal therefore determined that the Notice was valid. … Under section 14(1) of the Housing Act 1988 (as amended), the Tribunal is required to determine the rent at which the Property might reasonably be expected to let in the open market by a willing Landlord at the beginning of the new period specified in the Landlord’s notice. Relevant Tenant improvements or failure of the Tenant to comply with the terms of the tenancy are to be disregarded. Historic issues relating to the tenancy or the personal circumstances of the Landlord are not taken into account. The personal circumstances of the Tenant are only considered if an application for hardship has been made. … Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, and the comparables provided, the Tribunal considers that the market rent of the subject Property, modernised and in good order, would be in the order of £1,250 pcm. …
