What the tribunal said
The tribunal estimated an unadjusted market rent of £2,150 per month for a fully modernised flat with landlord-provided white goods and carpets/curtains. A deduction of £350 per month was made for the property's general condition, dated kitchen and bathroom fittings, damaged single-glazed windows, and tenant's floor coverings. Due to evidence of undue financial hardship, the effective date was specified as the decision date rather than the notice date.
The property
The property has dated kitchen units and sanitary fittings, single-glazed damaged/rotted window units, and general disrepair. Tenant improvements include replacement wooden floors.
