From the tribunal's valuation
The tribunal’s jurisdiction is limited to determining what the market rent for the property would be if presented to the market in its’ current condition. We cannot take into consideration the personal circumstances of the landlord or tenant, nor can we take into consideration whether this is an ‘affordable rent’. … Taking into consideration that some of the fixtures and fittings are showing signs of age, the tribunal finds that the landlord would have to reduce the asking rent to reflect the fact that the property was not newly refurbished. … The tribunal is also aware that some of the evidence relied on by the applicant in relation to the water leak is very old, and her evidence confirms that the leak was repaired the day it was reported, and therefore no longer relevant for rental purposes. … In the circumstances, the tribunal confirms the rent as set out in the notice of increase at £270.41 per week, with effect from 4 April 2022, and that this rental reflects the slightly dated fixtures and fitting sin the property.
