520			_aCA 9 October 1997. Appellant landlord (C) owned two flats subject to regulated unfurnished tenancies. C referred fair rent assessments of these flats to the rent assessment committee. C relied on, as comparables, seven assured shorthold tenancies of flats in the same block; he also put forward evidence from two estate agents that there was no local scarcity. The committee had the rent officer`s evidence of registered rents in the locality and rejected three of C`s comparables and concluded that there was scarcity. They upheld the rents registered by the rent officer. C appealed. Appeal allowed. The decision of the committee was quashed and the reference remitted to another committee. C appealed whether rent assessment committees should give reasons and mathematical workings. Appeal allowed.
