What the tribunal said

The tribunal assessed the market rent for the property in good modernised condition at £1230 per month. Deductions totaling £230 per month were applied to reflect the basic kitchen and bathroom (£50), damp and mould (£100), lack of central heating (£50), and lack of landlord-provided white goods (£30), resulting in a determined market rent of £1000 per month.

The property

The property is a maisonette over shops with dated décor and basic kitchen and bathroom facilities. Issues include damp and mould in the kitchen and bedrooms, poor papering on walls, lack of central heating (night storage heaters present), and white goods not supplied by the landlord.
