From the tribunal's valuation
Under section 14(1) of the Housing Act 1988 (as amended), the Tribunal is required to determine the rent at which the Property might reasonably be expected to let in the open market by a willing Landlord at the beginning of the new period specified in the Landlord’s notice. Relevant Tenant improvements or failure of the Tenant to comply with the terms of the tenancy are to be disregarded. Historic issues relating to the tenancy or the personal circumstances of the Landlord are not taken into account. The personal circumstances of the Tenant are only considered if an application for hardship has been made and this only affects the starting date of the new rent rather than the rent level which is based on the open market rent. … Relying on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area, the submissions of the parties, and the comparables provided by the Landlord, the Tribunal considers that the market rent of the subject Property would be in the order of £2,400 pcm. This is the rent the Tribunal would expect the property to let for in the open market at the valuation date. … The Tribunal does not consider it necessary to make adjustments to reflect the condition based on the representations and evidence provided by the parties. Open-Market Rent £2,400.00 pcm
