What the tribunal said

The Tribunal assessed the open market rent for a comparable property in the area at £1,200 per month, accounting for local noise factors. A deduction of £25 per month was applied because the tenant provides window coverings/blinds, resulting in a determined market rent of £1,175 per month.

The property

The tenant reported that the aerial was not working, lifts were often out of order, and there was nighttime noise from local bars. The flat lacked tenant-provided window coverings.
