Tribunal's reasoning
The tribunal did not inspect the property and decided on the papers, considering the tenant's rental evidence alongside its own general knowledge of local rental values (the landlord made no submissions). It determined an open market rent of £1350 pcm, between the existing rent of £1300 and the landlord's proposed £1425.
