Tribunal's reasoning
This is a Rent Act 1977 fair rent registration governed by the statutory capping formula under the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair Rent) Order 1999, not a free-market section 13/14 assessment. The uncapped fair rent would have been £1,456 pcm, but the maximum permitted increase is capped by applying the RPI change since the last registration plus a further 5% (second or subsequent application) to the previous registered rent of £756 pcm, giving a capped figure of £861.84, rounded up to £862 pcm. No comparables or condition evidence are discussed since the outcome is determined mechanically by the statutory formula.
