What the tribunal said
The Tribunal set an open market rent of £1750 per month assuming full landlord white goods and good condition, then deducted £120 per month to reflect tenant-provided washing machine (£10), bathroom disrepair (£30), kitchen disrepair (£30), and electrical installation disrepair (£50), determining a final rent of £1630 per month.
The property
The property suffers from disrepair in the bathroom, kitchen, and electrical installation, including threadbare carpets, broken and loose kitchen fitments, and a broken, leaking shower pump. The tenant provided their own washing machine.
