Evidence considered
- Landlord provided rents passing for other flats in the same block (2-bed units £995-£1150 pcm, 1-bed £750 pcm), which supported the proposed rent.
- Tribunal also relied on its own general knowledge and expertise of rental values in the area.
- Tenant submitted no comparable evidence and did not engage with the Reply Form.
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: yes.
Tribunal's reasoning
The tribunal accepted the landlord's proposed rent in full, finding that comparable rents for other similar flats in the same purpose-built block supported the figure sought. This was also consistent with the tribunal's own expert knowledge of local rental values. The tenant provided no evidence or submissions to counter the landlord's case.
