What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the market rent of the property in good condition at £1,700 per month based on expertise and local market levels. A deduction of £50 per month was made for the lack of a room thermostat and the state of the windows, arriving at £1,650 per month. The requested delayed effective date was rejected as the rent increase did not cause undue hardship.
The property
The flat lacks a room thermostat or thermostatic radiator valves, the original sash windows are in poor condition/draughty, and the communal hallway is poorly maintained.
