Tribunal's reasoning
This is a Rent Act 1977 fair rent registration where the tribunal applied the statutory Maximum Fair Rent (MFR) capping formula rather than a full open-market comparable assessment. The uncapped fair rent would have been £360 per week (£1,560 pcm), but because the previous registered rent was below this, the MFR Order 1999 capped the registrable rent to the previous rent (£179.31 pw, excluding £1.69 services) uplifted by an RPI-based multiplier (1.1847), rounded to £212.50 pw, plus a £2.83 pw services charge, giving a total of £215.33 per week (£933.09 pcm). The previous registered rent of £179.31 pw plus £1.69 services equates to approximately £776.68 pcm.
