What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined that the open market rent for the flat in full order would be £1,925 per month. However, a deduction of £50 per month was applied to account for dampness issues caused by an inefficient kitchen extractor fan that vents internally.
The property
Refurbished in July 2022 with a new kitchen, bathroom, boiler, radiators, and flooring. The kitchen extractor fan vents internally above units rather than outside, contributing to elevated humidity and dampness in the living room and bedroom, requiring year-round dehumidifier use.
