What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the market rent of the property in good condition at 1100 per month based on comparable local end-of-terrace properties. It applied a deduction of 275 per month to account for significant disrepair and defects, including defective window catches and failed double glazing units, lack of living room heating, inoperable electrical sockets and shower unit, dampness/condensation, and restricted use of outbuildings.
The property
Water ingress in porch; living room dampness/condensation, defective casement window catches, failed double glazing seals, and non-operational gas fire; kitchen extractor fan and several electrical sockets not working; sun room roof leaks and door damaged; electric shower and shower floor defective; mould issues exacerbated by poor ventilation and lack of living room heating.
