What the tribunal said
The tribunal considered evidence of local comparable room lettings in HMOs and determined that an open market rent of £700 per calendar month was appropriate, taking into account all services included in the rent.
The property
The property is a first-floor bedroom with an en-suite shower, WC, and wash hand basin within a former Edwardian mid-terrace house operating as an HMO. Communal area cleaning was noted as inconsistent, and the overall external condition was described as fair.
