The tenant applied under section 22 of the Housing Act 1988 for a market rent to be set for a three-bedroom house in YO8, saying the agreed initial rent of £1350.00 per calendar month was excessive. Using its own knowledge of local rents, the tribunal valued the house at £1250.00 per calendar month, but found the difference from the agreed rent was not significant.
