What the tribunal said

The landlord proposed a rent increase from £1,650 to £2,050 per month. The tribunal found that the open market rent for the property in good condition would be £1,950 per month. It applied deductions totaling £250 per month for disrepair and defects (£75 for missing skirtings and general repair issues, £50 for blown glazing, £75 for conservatory defects, and £50 for unsafe garden decking), resulting in a determined market rent of £1,700 per month.

The property

Poorly fitted ground-floor flooring with missing skirtings and gaps, water ingress near patio doors, water mark on utility room ceiling, blown window glazing, mould growth around carpet edges, damp patch in first-floor bedroom, loose bath panel, conservatory defects (leaking roof, blown glazing, severe water damage to window cills, blown plaster), and broken/unsafe garden decking and steps.
