Tribunal's reasoning
The tribunal determined the market rent at the landlord's proposed figure of £145 per week (equivalent to £628.33 pcm), finding no basis for a deduction despite the bedsitting room being small with limited storage and no sitting space, because the property was otherwise in good condition and well located. The tribunal relied on its own knowledge and experience of the North London rental market rather than specific comparables submitted by either party.
