3 Montgomery Close, Colchester, Essex, CO2 8SJ
No rent was set
The application was struck out, so the tribunal did not set a rent. This most often happens when the landlord's notice was invalid or the tribunal had no jurisdiction.
In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a property in CO2 from £650 a month to £900 a month. The tribunal struck out the application because it found the tenancy agreement contains a rent review provision, which took the tenancy outside section 13(1) of the Housing Act 1988 and meant it had no jurisdiction to determine a rent. As a result the tribunal did not consider the tenant's evidence about damp, mould and other condition issues.
Neither side gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
