What the tribunal said
The landlord proposed a rent increase from £850 to £1,200 per month. Based on local market context and tribunal expert knowledge, the tribunal determined that an open market rent for the property in good condition would be £1,200 per month. A deduction of 15% was applied to reflect single-glazed windows, tenant-provided white goods (except cooker), broken bathroom fittings, poor internal decoration, and faulty electrics, resulting in a determined market rent of £1,020 per month.
The property
The property has oil-fired central heating and single glazing. The white goods belong to the tenant, except for the cooker. The property suffers from value-significant disrepair including broken bathroom fittings (shower and tap), poor internal decorative condition requiring redecoration, and faulty intermittent electrics.
