- General observation of significant rent increases in the Bradford area since 2019
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.
Tribunal's reasoning
Neither party provided comparable evidence, so the Tribunal relied on its own expertise and knowledge of the local rental market. It found the landlord's proposed rent of £950 pcm was not excessive and reflected the ball-park market rate for the property's location, amenities and condition, noting rents in the Bradford area had risen significantly since the original £745 rent was agreed in 2019. The Tribunal therefore determined the market rent at the proposed figure of £950 pcm.
