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. … The comparable information provided by both parties is useful in assisting the Tribunal in reaching its decision. The comparable property in the same block as the subject property that was put forward by the Tenant was particularly useful to the Tribunal. The Tribunal has therefore determined a market rent of £1,950 per calendar month for the subject property, if it were in good condition. … However, there are elements in the subject property that need to be taken into account and reflected via adjustments to the market rent. This includes an improvements to the kitchen and bathroom that need to be discounted for and signs of damp in some areas.
