What the tribunal said
The tribunal considered market evidence provided by both parties and its own local knowledge to set an unadjusted market rent of £925.00 per month. It applied a £25.00 monthly deduction for the property's dated condition and condensation mould issues, determining the market rent at £900.00 per month. The tribunal declined to defer the effective date for hardship as the resulting increase over the existing rent was only £5.00 per month.
The property
The tribunal noted evidence of mould caused by condensation, and found the overall condition of the property to be dated and in need of updating, making a deduction of £25 per month from the unadjusted market rent.
