What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined an open market rent of £1,500 per month assuming standard condition with white goods and curtains provided. Deductions totaling £50 per month were applied to reflect carpet condition, fence damage, tenant repairs, and garden improvements made by the tenant, resulting in a final rent of £1,450 per month.
The property
The tenant redecorated internally, replaced non-flushing toilets, and improved the garden by slabbing and laying slate chippings. Carpets are frayed and damaged, and fence repairs are needed.
