56 Princelet Street, Spitalfields, London E1 5LP
Evidence considered
- No comparable evidence considered; rent set by statutory RPI-based capping formula under the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair Rent) Order 1999
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.
Tribunal's reasoning
This is a Rent Act 1977 fair rent registration rather than an assured tenancy market rent determination. The tribunal calculated the fair rent that would otherwise apply (£531.20 per week) but was required to cap it under the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair Rent) Order 1999, applying the statutory formula (previous registered rent of £247/week increased by RPI change plus 5%) to produce a capped maximum fair rent of £341 per week, rounded to the nearest 50p. No comparable evidence or condition details are given; the decision is a formulaic statutory calculation rather than an open-market valuation.
