ABSTRACT
The definition of ‘standard rent’ has been considered by the courts in Trinidad and Tobago. Section 7 of the Trinidadian Act states that, until the standard rent has been determined by the Rent Assessment Board under s 9, the standard rent of a particular category of letting is the rent at which the premises were let on the prescribed date; or, where they were first so let after the prescribed date, the rent at which they were first so let.73
