Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.
Tribunal's reasoning
The landlord's notice proposed a very large increase (to £2,000 pcm) from an existing rent of £410 pcm, but the landlord subsequently agreed with the tenant's proposed figure of £430 pcm and submitted no supporting evidence. As both parties agreed on £430 pcm, the Tribunal determined the market rent at that figure without further valuation analysis.
