What the tribunal said
The open market rent for the property in good, modernised condition was assessed at £650 per month. Deductions totaling £60 per month were made for unmodernised condition, specific disrepair defects, and partial loss of garage use, resulting in a determined market rent of £590 per month. The starting date was deferred to 11 May 2026 to avoid undue hardship to the tenant.
The property
Property is unmodernised and dated. Defects noted include a broken front door mechanism, kitchen flooring lifted and taped down, kitchen splashbacks detaching, loose downstairs toilet, rusting towel rack, and rear garden fence supported by temporary metal strips. Additionally, the garage is partially obstructed by landlord belongings.
