What the tribunal said

The Tribunal set an initial market rent of £780 per month for the flat in good condition, then deducted £10 per month for tenant-provided curtains, resulting in a determined market rent of £770 per month. The starting date for the new rent was deferred to the decision date due to undue hardship.

The property

Ground floor flat in modernised condition. Landlord provided carpets and white goods, while tenant provided curtains. Tenant noted the flat was very small.
