What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the market rent of the property in good modernised condition at £1,150 per month. A deduction of £50 per month was made for tenant-provided white goods and tenant improvements, arriving at £1,100 per month. The effective date was deferred to 12 March 2026 to avoid undue hardship to the tenant.
The property
The property has a faulty kitchen window, non-working gas fire, and recurring mould issues in bedrooms 1, 2, and the bathroom. The tenant replaced fence panels, replaced a light switch, repaired a WC leak, and supplied their own white goods.
