From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to its decision, the tribunal had regard to the representations made by the parties. We are not entitled to have regard to the financial position of the landlord or of the 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 taking all of this into account considered that property would be worth £1450.00 per month in the open market in fully modernised condition. However, taking into account the terms and conditions, the tenant’s own carpets, curtains, white goods and its condition, a deduction of £360 per month was applied and the reduced market rent to be determined for this property is £230.00 per week. 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. There was no mention of hardship on the part of the tenant this did not appear sufficient to move the effective date from the date of application. Albeit, that the rent proposed was less than this determination. … It is often the case that market rents are in excess of those that maybe charged by social landlord’s as it is a significant part of their remit to provide affordable housing. …
