23 Arthington Street, Leeds, LS10 2NG
Condition: Tribunal found the property to be in overall good condition, requiring no adjustments.
Evidence considered
- Landlord submitted six comparables ranging from £995 to £1,348 pcm, but with limited information on size/condition, so given limited weight
- Tenant provided no comparables and expressed no view on rent level, only raising a concern about boiler size
- Tribunal relied substantially on its own expert knowledge of local rental values alongside the comparables
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: yes.
Tribunal's reasoning
The tribunal determined the market rent using its own expert and general knowledge of local rental values together with six landlord-submitted comparables (£995-£1,348 pcm), though it noted limited information about their size and condition. Finding the subject property in overall good condition requiring no adjustment, it assessed the market rent at £925 pcm, matching the landlord's proposed figure. A tenant claim of undue hardship was rejected due to lack of supporting evidence, so the new rent took effect from the date in the landlord's notice.
