Tribunal's reasoning
No submissions or comparable evidence were received from either party, so the tribunal relied on its own expert knowledge of rental values in the Dalston area to determine the open market rent. No adjustment was made for the property's condition due to the lack of evidence. The tribunal set the rent at £1,700 per month, effective from the date specified in the landlord's notice of increase.
