What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined that the open market rent for the property in good tenantable condition would be £2,000 per month. A deduction of 25% (£500) was applied to reflect the unmodernised kitchen, lack of double glazing, missing living room heating, central heating issues, lack of white goods, and overall condition. The effective date was deferred to 6 November 2025 due to tenant hardship.

The property

Unmodernised kitchen, drafty single glazed windows, lack of heating in the living room and central heating deficiencies, absence of landlord-provided white goods, uneven floors, cracks to ceilings, and damp and mould around bedroom windows.
