REASONS FOR DECISION
The Facts and Issue
1. There was a significant amount of background information provided to the Rent Assessment
Committee (the “Co mmittee”) about th e nature of Llancayo House, its history, and the relationship
between the parties. As explained by the Chairman at the hearing, much of this was irrelevant to the
issue for the Committee to decide. The most relevant facts appear to the Committee to be as follows.
2. On 1 May 2020, the Applicant entered into an agreement with the Respondent to occupy Room 6,
Llancayo House, Usk, Monmonthshire, NP15 1JF (the “Property”). The Property consisted of one room
in a large Georgian mano r house in a rural setting, with an en suite toilet and shower. The Applicant
had access to a shared kitchen and dining room, and an individual parking space. There were several
other rooms available to let on a similar basis, on the first and second floors.
