What the tribunal said
Starting from an open market rent of £219.00 per week for a property in good condition, the Tribunal deducted £50.00 per week for condition issues and missing safety detectors, plus £10.00 per week for tenant-provided carpets, curtains, and white goods. This yielded a valuation of £159.00 per week. As this figure was not significantly different from the landlord's proposed rent of £157.61 per week, the Tribunal confirmed the proposed rent.
The property
Mid-terraced house requiring general updates. Kitchen and bathroom facilities have not had major upgrades in over 20 years, and there is a lack of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Historical water ingress observed. The tenant supplied carpets, curtains, and white goods, while the landlord recently replaced the gas boiler and carried out electrical safety work.
