Evidence considered

Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal found it had no jurisdiction to determine a market rent under section 14 of the Housing Act 1988. The tenancy agreement contained a contractual rent review clause allowing the landlord to increase or decrease rent annually on a fixed review date by serving notice, which falls within the exception in section 13(1)(b) as interpreted in Contour Homes Ltd v Rowen and Moat Homes Ltd v Carlo. As the tenancy was excluded from the statutory rent referral scheme, the Tribunal made no determination of rent, with the consequence that the landlord's proposed rent of £368.98 per week took effect automatically from the date specified in the notice.
