What the tribunal said
The Tribunal determined that the hypothetical market rent for the property in good condition would be £975.00 per month. It applied a 10% deduction to account for the disrepair of two windows and the tenant's provision of white goods (except the cooker) and curtains, resulting in an open market rent of £877.50 per month.
The property
Two windows (reception room and kitchen) are in disrepair causing poor thermal performance, noise insulation issues, and increased heating costs. Kitchen lacks a door and bathroom has no extractor fan. White goods (except cooker) and curtains belong to the tenant.
