What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined that the open market rent for the property in good condition would be £875 per month. It deducted £145 per month to reflect condition issues including blown windows, mould, poor state of kitchen, roof leak, and damaged light fitting, arriving at a market rent of £730 per month. No undue hardship was established to delay the effective date.
The property
The property has several blown and misty windows, mould and condensation issues, a poor kitchen condition, a potential leak from the main building roof, a damaged bathroom spotlight, and a dropped wooden bedroom door.
