What this decision means

In an open-market rent case, the tribunal determines what the property would reasonably let for on the open market — usually after a tenant refers a Section 13 rent increase notice. The panel (typically including a chartered surveyor) considers local comparable lettings and the property's condition, and may deduct for disrepair or tenant improvements.
