From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal determined that the Notice was valid in accordance with s 13(2) of the Act. … It also determined that the condition of the Property was materially the same as that at the date of the previous Decision, where the previous Tribunal had determined a market rent of £800.00, from which it made a deduction of £100.00 per calendar month to reflect the condition of the Property and the need for it to be refurbished and updated. … The Tribunal therefore turned to consider the issue of the Applicant preventing the Respondent from accessing the Property to carry out inspections and repairs. … However, it noted that the term of that tenancy agreement was stated to be 12 months beginning on 3 August 2020 and there was no evidence that any new written tenancy agreement had been entered into. Given that the tenancy agreement did not provide for any contractual periodic tenancy to come into force at the end of the term, the tenancy is likely to have continued on a statutory periodic tenancy basis pursuant to s 5 of the Act. … In the Tribunal’s view, therefore, this express term overrides the term implied under s 16 of the Act, but the same principles apply as those set out in the authorities above. …
