Flat 2, 13 St. Stephens Gardens, London, W2 5QU: LON/00BK/MDR/2020/0003 LON/00BK/MDR/2020/0003
DECISION
[1]The Tribunal is satisfied that there are a sufficient number of similar properties locally let on assured tenancies to enable it to establish the rental value of the premises by reference to comparable properties.[2]The Tribunal is not satisfied that the matters referred to by the tenant would reduce the open market rental value below that currently payable, £888 per month, which is at the lower end of the range for studios in the locality. Having considered all the rental evidence supplied by the parties and using their own knowledge and experience of rental levels in the area of the W2 postcode the Tribunal was satisfied that the rent payable under the tenancy, is not significantly higher than the rent which the landlord might reasonably expect to get by comparison with the rents paid for other similar properties let on assured tenancies.[3]The tests under the Act were not both met therefore the Tribunal did not make a determination.
