Tribunal's reasoning
The tribunal relied on its own knowledge and expertise of market rents in the Liverpool area rather than comparable evidence from either party, as neither party made submissions. It set a starting rent of £750 pcm and deducted £100 for damp affecting the ground floor, arriving at a determined rent of £650 pcm.
