What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined the market rent at £925.00 per month based on comparable evidence of two-bedroom, two-bathroom flats in the area and its own market expertise. No deduction was made for disrepair as no significant internal issues were demonstrated. The tenant's request to defer the effective date due to undue hardship was refused.

The property

The tenant noted that common areas were scruffy and had smells of drug use. The tribunal found no evidence of significant disrepair to the property itself.
