What the tribunal said

The landlord sought an increase to £725.00 pcm. Based on evidence of comparable lettings within the block and local market, including non-ensuite rooms listed at £650 pcm and non-appealed rooms at £725 pcm, the tribunal determined that the fair market rent for this modern room with an ensuite and included Council Tax was £700.00 pcm.

The property

Historic ceiling stain from an upstairs leak, missing flooring in laundry room, and issues with rear yard cleanliness/pests; however, the room itself is modern and generally in good condition with an ensuite shower room.
