Wellhouse Farm, Mount Bures CO8 5BA
Evidence considered
- No comparable evidence was considered as the case was struck out for lack of jurisdiction before any substantive hearing.
Tenant submitted evidence: no. Landlord submitted evidence: no.
Tribunal's reasoning
The tribunal did not determine a market rent. It found that the landlord's section 13 notice proposed a start date (28 May 2025) that was not the beginning of a new period of the tenancy (periods ran from the 24th of each month), so the notice was invalid and the tribunal lacked jurisdiction. The proceedings were struck out under rule 9(2) without any substantive rent determination.
