Evidence considered
- No comparable evidence discussed; figure derived purely from statutory RPI-based capping formula applied to the previous registered rent.
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.
Tribunal's reasoning
This is a fair rent registration under the Rent Act 1977 (not an assured tenancy market rent case). The Tribunal applied the statutory Maximum Fair Rent Order 1999 formula, uplifting the previous registered rent of £222/week by the percentage increase in RPI plus a 5% statutory addition, giving a capped maximum fair rent of £254.50 per week (equivalent to approximately £1,103.17 pcm, though the notice records it per week). The uncapped market rent that would otherwise have applied was £300 per week, but the capping provisions applied so the lower figure was registered.
