What the tribunal said

The tribunal evaluated comparable market rents for similar properties in the area, determining that market rent would be £2,000 per month. Redecoration performed by the tenant was deemed insufficient to warrant a deduction.

The property

The tenant reported minor disrepair, mouse issues at start of tenancy, and dirty carpets, noting she redecorated upon entry. The tribunal found the property to be in good overall condition and that tenant redecoration did not constitute an improvement requiring rent deduction.
