What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined that the open market rent for the property in good, modernised condition would be £400 per month. Deductions totalling £105 per month were made to reflect the extensive disrepair, defects, inadequate heating system, and non-working fire safety system, resulting in a determined market rent of £295 per month.
The property
The property suffers from significant disrepair including rotten living room and bedroom windows, penetrating damp, black mould, a defect in the sloping ceiling, inadequate electric wall heating, displaced ridge tile, clogged gutters, and a non-functional communal fire alarm system.
