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 and will not consider the personal circumstances of the Tenant, as that is not a factor envisaged by the Act. … Having consideration of our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, the Tribunal consider the open market rent for the property in good tenantable condition would be in the region of £2,100 per calendar month for the subject property. … However, the lack of repair in relation to the leaking shower resulting in damp and mould at the subject property needs to be taken in to account and reflected via adjustments to the market rent.
