What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined that the market rent for the property modernised and in good order would be £800 per month. A £50 per month deduction was applied for unrectified damp and condensation issues, resulting in a market rent of £750 per month. The effective date was deferred to 28 March 2026 on the grounds of tenant financial hardship.

The property

Ground floor flat in poor condition with ongoing damp and mould issues, cracking to surfaces, unpainted areas following repairs, and lack of bathroom ventilation.
