What the tribunal said

The tribunal assessed the market rent for the property in good condition at 1,700 pcm. Deductions totaling 12.5% were applied for water damage/ceiling disrepair, general wear and tear, and external damage to paving and fencing, resulting in a market rent of 1,500 pcm. To prevent undue hardship given the large increase from the long-standing 1,000 pcm passing rent, the tribunal set the effective date to 1st July 2026.

The property

Water damage to ceilings and decoration from leaks, poorly executed ceiling repairs, general wear and tear, and damaged garden fencing and paving.
