What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined the market rent for the one-bedroom flat at £585 per month. Starting from an un-modernised market rent level of £620 per month, deductions totaling £35 per month were made for property condition issues (condensation/damp) and tenant-provided improvements and white goods/curtains. The effective date was adjusted to 24 July 2025 due to undue hardship to the tenant.

The property

The property suffers from dampness and black mould requiring constant dehumidifier use, cavity wall rat issues, a broken underground waste pipe, and a damaged bathroom ceiling caused by works above. The kitchen and general property have not been updated for at least 11 years.
