45 Rutland Road, Stockport SK7 6JD
Evidence considered
- Market rent for the property assessed at £980 per calendar month after 30% deductions (uncapped figure of £1400)
- Previous registered rent of £522 used as base for statutory capping calculation under RPI formula
Tenant submitted evidence: unknown. Landlord submitted evidence: unknown.
Tribunal's reasoning
This is a Rent Act 1977 fair rent registration, not a section 13/14 assured tenancy market rent case. The tribunal determined the market rent would be £980 pcm (after 30% deductions from an uncapped figure), but the fair rent is statutorily capped under the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair Rent) Order 1999, calculated by applying RPI increase plus 5% to the previous registered rent of £522, giving £675.09, rounded up to £675.50 pcm.
