What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined the open market rent for the property in good order would be £575 per month. To reflect the poor state of repair, dampness, water leaks, blown double glazing, compact nature, and electric heating, a 30% deduction was applied, resulting in an adjusted rent of £402.50, rounded down to £400 per month.
The property
The property is in poor repair and requires general maintenance and modernization throughout. Issues include damp patches, wallpaper peeling, water damage from ceiling leaks in the kitchenette, blown double glazing, rotten timber framing around the entrance door, and mould in communal areas.
