From the tribunal's valuation
The Tenant has raised a concern regarding the validity of the Landlord’s notice of increase. As the date of the notice is prior to 1 May 2026, if the Tenant wishes to challenge the validity of the Landlord’s notice (Form 4) proposing the new rent they must make an application to the County Court. … 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 date 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 and this only relates to the rent start date rather than the market rent amount. … Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, and taking into account the comparables provided by the Landlord and Tenant, the Tribunal considers that the market rent of the subject Property would be in the order of £1,525 pcm. This is the rent the Tribunal would expect the property to let for in the open market at the valuation date. Open-Market Rent £1,525.00 pcm
