From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal is to determine the rent for the Property as would be agreed in the open market by a willing landlord. Rents for properties where housing associations are the landlord are often agreed on a different basis and therefore would not constitute suitable comparable evidence for the Tribunal’s valuation. … Having consideration of our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, we consider that the open market rent for the Property in good and tenantable condition would be in the region of £1,500 per calendar month and this equates to £346 per week. … The Tenant has received compensation for disrepair of the Property. The Landlord has confirmed that replacement of the kitchen and bathroom have been agreed, but this has not happened due to the Tenant not having granted access for the works to be undertaken. Given the situation, the Tribunal will not make a deduction for the condition of the bathroom and kitchen.
