520			_aQBD 21 June 1991. The respondent (G) inherited the tenancy of a house which his father, the former tenant had left in a deplorable state of disrepair. N & D, the landlord, applied to a London Rent Assessment Committee for the assessment of a free market rent, registering a figure of £500 per month. The committee however, noting the condition of the premises, determining on £5, disregarding, as directed by the Housing Act 1988 s14, reduction in value caused by the tenant`s failure to maintain the property to reasonable standard. Damage was evidently not attributable to the current tenant, but to his father. N & D went to court to overturn the decision, arguing that s14 should apply to the former as well as present tenant. "Held": The application was dismissed.
