Tribunal's reasoning
The tribunal determined the matter on the papers, finding the property in similar condition to the landlord's comparables, with the landlord responsible for repairs, decoration and white goods. Using the landlord's comparable evidence (£1700-£1900 pcm) and its own expert knowledge of the local market, the tribunal adopted the landlord's proposed figure of £1700 pcm as the market rent, making no adjustments. The tenant submitted no comparable evidence or alternative valuation.
