From the tribunal's valuation
17 The Tribunal could not discern the tenant’s argument for the notice to increase the rent being defective and did not find it so. The Tribunal finds both the tenant’s and landlord’s comparables, said to be let or t0 let around early 2026, helpful. The Tribunal noted information suggesting a very recent letting of another one bedrom flat in Miles Lodge for £1500 pcm. From these and from the Tribunal’s own general knowledge of market rent levels in LB Newham it determines that the subject Property would let on normal Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) terms, for £1500 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. 18 From the representations the Tribunal found that while there are some minor defects at the Property, none was sufficient to justify any deduction from the rent stated above. However it was noted that the Property was provided with only partial white goods and suffered some disrepair within and outwith the Property in the communal areas and makes a small deduction to reflect these shortcomings of £75 pcm. The new rent is therefore £1425 pcm.
