47 Upper Belmont Road, HP5 2DE
Evidence considered
- No comparable evidence considered as the application was struck out on jurisdictional grounds before any market rent assessment took place.
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.
Tribunal's reasoning
The Tribunal did not determine a market rent. It struck out the application for lack of jurisdiction because the tenant's referral of the landlord's section 13 notice was made on the same day the new rent was due to take effect, rather than before that date as required by section 13(4)(a) of the Housing Act 1988. No assessment of comparable evidence or rent level was undertaken.
