What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined that the open market rent for the property in good order would be £800 per month, reflecting its location above commercial premises in a busy nightlife area. It made deductions totaling £80 per month to account for plumbing defects, lack of double glazing, single-glazed window disrepair, and tenant-supplied fridge and curtains, arriving at a final rent of £720 per month.
The property
Single glazed windows with disrepair and cracking around frames, dampness and mould on cold spots. Inherent plumbing defects in kitchen and bathroom. Persistent key fob issue on communal door. Non-functioning communal lift.
