What the tribunal said

The Tribunal set an unadjusted market rent baseline of £480.00 per month. Deductions totalling £89.00 per month were made to reflect serious damp issues (£50.00), tenant-provided white goods, carpets and curtains (£15.00), and tenant's internal decorating liability (£24.00), arriving at a final rent of £391.00 per month including service charges.

The property

Strong pervading damp smell, particularly in the open-plan area. Kitchen and bathroom fittings date from 1999. Carpets, curtains, and white goods were provided by the tenant.
