Tribunal's reasoning
The tribunal did not rely on comparable evidence from either party (none was submitted) but used its own general knowledge of market rent levels in Norwich. It assessed that the flat would let on normal AST terms at £1100 pcm fully fitted and in good order, and since the property was found to be in that condition, it set the new rent at £1100 pcm, below the landlord's proposed £1250 pcm.
