Open market rent £185 per week including services. Deductions of £85 per week. Legal Officer E Dudley warned the Parties on 3 April 2024 that the case may be struck out for lack of jurisdiction due to the lease containing a rent review clause (section 13(1)(b). The Tribunal only had 3 pages of a lease of over 20 pages in length, but determined that the lrent review clause would not be binding on the Parties because it is silent on the issue of service charges and due to the passage of 34 years since it was created the Assured Tenancy will by now have become Statutory Periodic Tenancy.[8]Description of premises First floor flat in purpose built block, in small grounds, with paved areas, walls grass and small garden areas. The walls wooden garden edges, fences and gate need attention. Chairman Mr Christopher Tonge LL B BA Date of Decision 11 June 2024
