What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the open market rent for a three-bedroom flat in good condition at £2,750 per month. Deductions were made to reflect the property's condition: 10% for an unmodernised kitchen, 5% for an unmodernised bathroom, 10% for dated electrics, 5% for lack of white goods, 10% for lack of central heating, and 5% for general disrepair, resulting in an adjusted rent of £1,500 per month. The tenant's request to delay the effective date due to hardship was refused for lack of supporting evidence.
The property
The property lacks central heating and has single-glazed metal crittal-framed windows. There are no carpets, floor coverings, white goods, or curtains provided. Electrics are original and dated, with limited sockets. The kitchen and bathroom are unmodernised, with signs of deteriorating floorboards in the bathroom and general disrepair throughout.
