DECISION
INTRODUCTION
1. We convened as a Rent Assessment Committee under the provisions of the Rent Act
1977 on the 6th October 2022. We had before us a reference from the Rent Officer in
respect of 4 Brook Terrace, Tairgwaith, Ammanford SA18 1YA (the Property). The Rent
Officer had registered a fair rent of £76.00 per week on 24th March 2022. The Landlord
has objected to the Rent Officer’s decision and the Rent Officer has referred the matter
to us. The Landlord had applied for the rent to be increased to £90.00 per week.
2. The Rent Officer has assessed the fair rent as £76.00 per week effective from 24th
March 2022. The Committee has details of the Rent Officer’s calculation of the fair rent
from which it is noted that he considers the Relevant Market Rent to be £114.23 per
week. From that figure the following deductions are made:
£8.00 in respect of age, character and location
£12.00 for furniture
£10.00 for any other adjustments
The Adjusted Market Rent is therefore calculated to be £84.23.
From this a further deduction of 10% (£8.42) for scarcity is made to give a Fair Rent
(rounded up) of £76.
