What the tribunal said

The tribunal assessed the open market rent for the flat in good tenantable condition at £940 per month. A deduction of £40 per month was applied to account for the ongoing moisture ingress and damp issues, arriving at a final determined rent of £900 per month.

The property

The property suffers from moisture ingress in the vicinity of the balcony, causing damp and condensation inside. The lounge carpet requires replacement, and there is no longer vehicular parking directly outside.
