What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined the open market rent in good condition would be £1,000 per month. It applied deductions totaling £380 per month for general disrepair, lack of working central heating, tenant-supplied white goods and floor coverings/curtains, and unmodernised bathroom and kitchen, resulting in a determined rent of £620 per month.

The property

The property and building are in very poor condition with general disrepair, damp and mould, ceiling cracks, defective windows, non-working electric storage heating, and unmodernised bathroom and kitchen fittings over 25 years old. White goods, carpets, and curtains were provided by the tenants.
