Tribunal's reasoning
The landlord proposed increasing the rent from £775 to £925 per month, which the tenant referred to the Tribunal. Neither party submitted evidence or representations. The Tribunal, relying on its own expert knowledge of local rental values, determined an open market rent of £850 per month for the property in good tenantable condition, effective from the date specified in the landlord's notice.
