What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined that the open market rent for the property in good tenantable order with landlord-provided carpets, curtains, and white goods would be £1,800 per month. Deductions totalling £905 per month were made to reflect tenant-provided improvements (conservatory, kitchen and bathroom fittings, electric shower, decking and fencing, white goods, flooring, curtains) and disrepair/defects (defective wiring, lack of heating, inadequate hot water, extensive damp and mould, poor EPC rating, asbestos in Artex ceilings). The resulting market rent of £895 per month takes effect from 1 April 2025.
The property
Single storey property of non-standard construction, originally built around a disused railway carriage. Displays severe damp and extensive black mould growth throughout, crumbling plaster, exposed asbestos, non-functioning gas boiler resulting in a lack of heating, defective electrical wiring system, blown double-glazing panels, and a bathroom window that does not close. Energy Performance Rating is E.
