From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal initially needs to determine what rent the Landlord could reasonably be expected to obtain for the property in the open market if it were let today in the condition that is considered usual for such an open market letting. In doing this, the Tribunal will consider the rental value of the property but must not consider the personal circumstances of the Tenant, as that is not a factor envisaged by the Act. … No comparable information was provided by either party. … Next, the Tribunal considered if there were any elements in the subject property that needed to be considered and reflected via adjustments to the market rent. From this level of rent we have made adjustments in relation to no provision of white goods, no curtains, the mould and damp issues and the loose banister.
