What the tribunal said
The market rent for the property in good condition was determined to be £325.00 per week. Deductions of £140.00 were applied for property defects and disrepair, £25.00 for tenant-provided carpets, curtains, and white goods, and £15.00 for tenant decorating liability, arriving at £145.00 per week. Due to tenant hardship, the effective date was set to the decision date rather than the notice date.
The property
The property is in poor overall condition with no central heating. Defects include unusable fireplaces, rot above bay windows, a kitchen needing refitting, collapsed ceiling areas in two bedrooms, widespread wall and ceiling cracks, a dated bathroom, a rotten porch, sticking internal doors, springy ground floors, and a garage and store in need of extensive repair or replacement.
