From the tribunal's valuation
18 From the landlords comparables and Property report and from the Tribunal’s own general knowledge of market rent levels in Mitcham it determines that the subject Property would let on normal Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) terms, for £2800 pcm, fully fitted and in good order. This is the rent we would expect the Property to let for in the open market if it was in the same condition as comparable properties including landlord’s white goods carpets and curtains. 19 From the representations the Tribunal found the notice valid. It ignored the tenants improvements mentioned and found any minor defects within the Property, insufficient to the justify any end allowance from this starting figure for rent. The Tribunal therefore makes a no deduction, leaving a new market rent at £2800 pcm.
