From the tribunal's valuation
The first consideration to be addressed by the tribunal was Section 22(3)(a) of the Act. The tribunal must find there to be a sufficient number of similar dwelling houses in the locality. Law does not define “sufficient”. Similarly, there is no definition of “similar” or “locality” , but there is considerable case law to give the tribunal guidance. … The second consideration to be considered is whether the rent is “ considerably higher than the rent which the landlord might reasonably be expected to be able to obtain under the tenancy, having regard to the level of rents payable under the tenancies in the locality”. … The tribunal using the evidence supplied by the parties and the tribunals own expertise.
