What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined an unadjusted market rent of £600.00 per month. Deductions totaling £60.00 per month were made to reflect disrepair (including leaks, unlevel flooring, and bare plaster), tenant's minor improvements, and lack of landlord-provided floor coverings and white goods, resulting in a final rent of £540.00 per month.

The property

Mid-terrace property subject to disrepair including kitchen and bathroom roof leaks, an unlevel living room floor, bare undecorated plaster, and poorly refitted kitchen units following damp-proofing works. Deductions were made for these conditions, as well as for tenant improvements and tenant-provided floor coverings and white goods.
