What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined the open market rent in good condition would be £1,000 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.
