Rent Assessment Committee

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:

    Underneath the inharmonious and trivial particulars, is a musical perfection, the Ideal journeying always with us, the heaven without rent or seam.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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)
