(1)Where, under subsection (4)(a) of section 13 above, a tenant refers to [F2the appropriate tribunal] a notice under subsection (2) of that section, the [F3appropriate tribunal] shall determine the rent at which, subject to subsections (2) and (4) below, the [F3appropriate tribunal] consider that the dwelling-house concerned might reasonably be expected to be let in the open market by a willing landlord under an assured tenancy—
(a)which is a periodic tenancy having the same periods as those of the tenancy to which the notice relates;
(b)which begins at the beginning of the new period specified in the notice;
(c)the terms of which (other than relating to the amount of the rent) are the same as those of the tenancy to which the notice relates; and
(d)in respect of which the same notices, if any, have been given under any of Grounds 1 to 5 of Schedule 2 to this Act, as have been given (or have effect as if given) in relation to the tenancy to which the notice relates.
(2)In making a determination under this section, there shall be disregarded—
(a)any effect on the rent attributable to the granting of a tenancy to a sitting tenant;
(b)any increase in the value of the dwelling-house attributable to a relevant improvement carried out by a person who at the time it was carried out was the tenant, if the improvement—
(i)was carried out otherwise than in pursuance of an obligation to his immediate landlord, or
(ii)was carried out pursuant to an obligation to his immediate landlord being an obligation which did not relate to the specific improvement concerned but arose by reference to consent given to the carrying out of that improvement; and
(c)any reduction in the value of the dwelling-house attributable to a failure by the tenant to comply with any terms of the tenancy.
(3)For the purposes of subsection (2)(b) above, in relation to a notice which is referred by a tenant as mentioned in subsection (1) above, an improvement is a relevant improvement if either it was carried out during the tenancy to which the notice relates or the following conditions are satisfied, namely—
(a)that it was carried out not more than twenty-one years before the date of service of the notice; and
(b)that, at all times during the period beginning when the improvement was carried out and ending on the date of service of the notice, the dwelling-house has been let under an assured tenancy; and
(c)that, on the coming to an end of an assured tenancy at any time during that period, the tenant (or, in the case of joint tenants, at least one of them) did not quit.
F4 [( 3A )In making a determination under this section in any case where under Part I of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 the landlord or a superior landlord is liable to pay council tax in respect of a hereditament ( “the relevant hereditament”) of which the dwelling-house forms part, the [F5appropriate tribunal] shall have regard to the amount of council tax which, as at the date on which the notice under section 13(2) above was served, was set by the billing authority—
(a)for the financial year in which that notice was served, and
(b)for the category of dwellings within which the relevant hereditament fell on that date,
but any discount or other reduction affecting the amount of council tax payable shall be disregarded.
(3B)In subsection (3A) above—
(a) “hereditament” means a dwelling within the meaning of Part I of the Local Government Finance Act 1992,
(b) “billing authority” has the same meaning as in that Part of that Act, and
(c) “category of dwellings” has the same meaning as in section 30(1) and (2) of that Act.]
(4)In this section “rent” does not include any service charge, within the meaning of section 18 of the M1Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, but, subject to that, includes any sums payable by the tenant to the landlord on account of the use of furniture [F6, in respect of council tax] or for any of the matters referred to in subsection (1)(a) of that section, whether or not those sums are separate from the sums payable for the occupation of the dwelling-house concerned or are payable under separate agreements.
(5)Where any rates in respect of the dwelling-house concerned are borne by the landlord or a superior landlord, the [F7appropriate tribunal] shall make their determination under this section as if the rates were not so borne.
(6)In any case where—
(a)[F8the appropriate tribunal] have before them at the same time the reference of a notice under section 6(2) above relating to a tenancy (in this subsection referred to as “the section 6 reference”) and the reference of a notice under section 13(2) above relating to the same tenancy (in this subsection referred to as “the section 13 reference”), and
(b)the date specified in the notice under section 6(2) above is not later than the first day of the new period specified in the notice under section 13(2) above, and
(c)the [F9appropriate tribunal] propose to hear the two references together,
the [F9appropriate tribunal] shall make a determination in relation to the section 6 reference before making their determination in relation to the section 13 reference and, accordingly, in such a case the reference in subsection(1)(c) above to the terms of the tenancy to which the notice relates shall be construed as a reference to those terms as varied by virtue of the determination made in relation to the section 6 reference.
(7)Where a notice under section 13(2) above has been referred to [F10the appropriate tribunal], then, unless the landlord and the tenant otherwise agree, the rent determined by [F11the appropriate tribunal] (subject, in a case where subsection (5) above applies, to the addition of the appropriate amount in respect of rates) shall be the rent under the tenancy with effect from the beginning of the new period specified in the notice or, if it appears to [F12the appropriate tribunal] that that would cause undue hardship to the tenant, with effect from such later date (not being later than the date the rent is determined) as [F11the appropriate tribunal] may direct.
(8)Nothing in this section requires [F13the appropriate tribunal] to continue with their determination of a rent for a dwelling-house if the landlord and tenant give notice in writing that they no longer require such a determination or if the tenancy has come to an end.
[F14(9)This section shall apply in relation to an assured shorthold tenancy as if in subsection (1) the reference to an assured tenancy were a reference to an assured shorthold tenancy.]
