What the tribunal said
The tribunal estimated the open market rent for the property in modernised condition at £800 per month. An adjustment of £50 per month was deducted to reflect condition issues and tenant-supplied white goods, carpets, and curtains. To avoid undue hardship, the starting date was set to the decision date.
