Tribunal's reasoning
The tribunal found the property to be in good order with no defects warranting a reduction from market rent. It relied on landlord-submitted comparable evidence (an email citing a range of £927–£975 for the street) and its own professional knowledge of local rents, concluding a market rent of £925 pcm, matching the rent proposed in the section 13 notice. No undue hardship evidence was submitted, so the new rent took effect from the date specified in the landlord's notice.
