What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the open-market rent of the property in good condition to be approximately £525 per month. As the landlord's proposed rent of £512.26 per month was lower than the open-market rent, the tribunal determined the rent at the landlord's proposed figure. The tribunal found insufficient evidence of undue hardship to delay the effective date.
The property
The property is a ground floor flat with three electric heaters, double glazing, carpets in the living room and bedroom, vinyl flooring in the kitchen area and bathroom, and recent installation of external wallrock thermal liner for energy efficiency.
