What the tribunal said

The Tribunal determined that the open market rent for the property in good condition would be £1,375 per month based on comparable local lettings. A total deduction of £25 per month was made to account for the tenant-provided washing machine and minor property defects, resulting in a determined rent of £1,350 per month.

The property

The property is in good condition, with minor defects reported including a sticking door latch, a WC flush button issue, and mould in the main bedroom. The tenant provided white goods (washing machine), while the landlord provided the cooker.
