From the tribunal's valuation
No rental evidence had been put forward by either party. The Landlord relies entirely on housing allowance rates. … In the absence of any rental evidence supplied by the parties, the tribunal relies on its own knowledge and experience. The tribunal is of the view that rents have fallen in the London area recently and there is no evidence before the tribunal this trend has stopped or been reversed. … The tribunal considers that the flat in good repair and with the amenities required by the market would let at a rent of £280.00 per week. The tribunal has then considered whether the deduction of 40% made by the previous tribunal was still correct and decided that it should be reduced to 35% in consideration of repairs carried out. The tribunal determines a rent of £182.00 per week. Effective date 24. 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 tribunal received no evidence of hardship and therefore the effective date of the decision is 16 October 2020.
