From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to its decision, the tribunal had regard to the representations made by the tenant applicant. We are not entitled to have regard to the financial position of the landlord or of the 2 | P a g e tenant. The matters we are required to take into account are set out in section 14 of the Act which we have summarised above. … The Tribunal determined a starting market rent of £377 per week for a 3-bedroom house in the locality in the open market in fully modernised condition. … The Tribunal can only set a market rent. … The tenant may wish to discuss this matter with her landlord. Effective date 20. Under s14 (7) of the Housing Act 1988 the effective date of the decision would normally be the date shown on the application unless there is hardship to the tenant. … The tenant made no submission in relation to hardship. The effective date is therefore the date shown on the application, that is 4/7/2022.
