What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the open market rent for the five-bedroom property in good condition at £1,300 per calendar month. A deduction of £300 per month was applied for the un-refurbished condition. No further deduction was made for specific damp and water ingress repairs because the tenant had frustrated the landlord's attempts to gain access for repair work.
The property
The property was in poor condition with damp, water ingress, and in need of general refurbishment. Issues were also noted regarding heating, electrical installation, and floors.
