What the tribunal said
The Tribunal set an initial unimproved market rent of £950 per month based on local comparables for 2-bedroom flats. Deductions of £150 per month were made for various items of disrepair including damp/leaks, faulty heating controls, non-working extractor fans, and kitchen/window defects, leaving a determined rent of £800 per month. Due to tenant hardship, the effective date was deferred to 30 April 2026.
The property
Damp and leaks in en-suite shower, loose tiles in en-suite and family bathroom, kitchen repairs needed to hob, cabinet door and worktop, broken window latch in bedroom, faulty heating and hot water controls, non-working extractor fans.
