What the tribunal said
The Tribunal determined an open market rent of £2,300 per month for the flat assuming good condition with modern fittings. A deduction of £400 per month was applied to account for damp and mould, basic secondary glazing on a noisy road, lack of lift to the second floor, plaster cracking, and dated kitchen fittings, setting the market rent at £1,900 per month starting from the notice date.
