What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined the open market rent for the property based on local market knowledge and available comparables. The tenant claimed disrepair and requested a delayed starting date on grounds of undue hardship, but provided no financial or documentary evidence to support either claim. Consequently, no reduction was made for condition and the new rent takes effect from the date specified in the landlord's notice.
The property
The tenant reported defective doors and windows, electrical issues, and pest infestations, but provided no supporting evidence. The tribunal made no adjustment for condition or disrepair.
