What the tribunal said
The tribunal considered comparable evidence in the area along with its own knowledge and determined that the open market rent for the fifth-floor flat in its condition was £1285 per month, effective from the date specified in the landlord's notice.
The property
The tenant raised concerns including noisy double glazing, an overlooked balcony, non-secure parking, unmonitored CCTV, prior building re-cladding, and external issues. The tribunal determined no rental deductions were warranted as these were either common local factors or reflected in market comparables.
