REASONS

[1]Following an objection from the Tenant to the determination of a fair rent by the Rent Officer, the Tribunal has made a determination under the provisions of the Rent Act 1977. Inspection[2]Tribunal did not inspect the property but considered this case on the basis of the papers provided by the parties. Evidence[3]The Tribunal has consideration of the limited written submissions provided by the Tenant. Determination and Valuation[4]Having consideration of our own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, we consider that the open market rent for the property in good tenantable condition would be in the region of £750 per week. From this level of rent we have made adjustments in relation to: Tenant repair obligations. Furnishings. Condition.[5]The Tribunal has also made an adjustment for scarcity.[6]The full valuation is shown below: per week Market Rent £750.00 Less Tenant repair obligations, lack of furniture and condition approx. 15% £112.50 Less Scarcity approx. 20% £127.50 £510.00[7]The Tribunal determines a rent of £510 per week. 3 Decision[8]The uncapped fair rent initially determined by the Tribunal, for the purposes of section 70, was £510 per week. The capped rent for the property according to the provisions of the Rent Acts (Maximum Fair Rent) Order 1999 is calculated at £259.00 per week. The calculation of the capped rent is shown on the decision form. In this case the lower rent of £259.00 per week is to be registered as the fair rent or this property.
