A rent assessment committee is a tribunal in England and Wales set up under the rent acts whose main task is to assess fair and market rents of properties referred to it.
There is a statutory right of appeal to the High Court of England and Wales and thence to the Court of Appeal.
On the formation of the Residential Property Tribunal Service as a result of the Housing Act 2004 the Rent Assessment Committee became part of that body for administrative purposes.

Famous quotes containing the words rent, assessment and/or committee:
“The arbitrary division of one’s life into weeks and days and hours seemed, on the whole, useless. There was but one day for the men, and that was pay day, and one for the women, and that was rent day. As for the children, every day was theirs, just as it should be in every corner of the world.”
—Alice Caldwell Rice (1870–1942)
“The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.”
—Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)
“The small creatures chirp thinly through the dust, through the night.
O mother
What shall I cry?
We demand a committee, a representative committee, a committee of investigation
RESIGN RESIGN RESIGN”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
