What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the market rent for the property in a modernised condition at £850 per month. Deductions totaling £140 per month were made to reflect tenant-provided carpets and white goods, necessary kitchen improvements, and general condition issues (broken tiles and faulty garden fencing), resulting in a market rent of £710 per month. A postponement for undue hardship was refused due to lack of supporting evidence.
The property
The property has a dated kitchen requiring replacement, broken kitchen floor tiles, faulty garden fencing, and a history of power socket failure, water leak from bathroom impacting kitchen light, and rodent issues. The tenant provided carpets, white goods (except cooker), and carried out some repairs.
