Evidence considered
- No comparable evidence was submitted by either party
- Tribunal relied on its own general knowledge and expertise of rental values in the area
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.
Tribunal's reasoning
The landlord's notice proposed a below-market rent in line with social housing policy, so neither party submitted comparable evidence. The tenant's representations focused on tenancy status rather than rent level or condition. The tribunal therefore relied on its own expert knowledge of rental values in the area to determine a market rent of £330 per week (approx. £1,430 pcm), well above the landlord's proposed figure, while noting the landlord is not compelled to charge the full determined rent.
