What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined a market rent of £2,500 per month based on its expert knowledge of rental values in the area for comparable accommodation, taking into account the property's character, detached status, and condition. The tribunal found the section 13 notice valid and rejected the tenant's claim of undue hardship, so the new rent took effect from the date proposed in the notice.
The property
Historic detached house with a thatched roof. The tenant noted defects including damp, mould, condensation, holes in the structure, mice infestation, broken fencing, and a rusty drain cover.
