Paragraph

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

• The rent assessment committee cannot make a determination unless it considers—

(a)

that there is a sufficient number of similar properties in the locality let on assured tenancies (whether shorthold or not) for comparison; and

(b)

that the rent payable under the shorthold tenancy in question is significantly higher than the rent which the landlord might reasonably be expected to get in comparison with other rents for similar properties let on assured tenancies (whether shorthold or not) in the locality.
