What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined the open market rent for the property in good order at £875 per month. A 20% (£175) deduction was made to reflect tenant-organized grant improvements including heat pump, insulation, and double glazing. The tribunal found no undue hardship to delay the effective date.

Property has bare plaster areas remaining after insulation and heating installation, damaged carpets, two blown double-glazed window units, and an off-limits balcony.
