The open market rent in good condition was assessed at £1,200 per month. A 25% (£300) deduction was applied to account for window defects, lack of double glazing, damp penetration, general disrepair, and tenant repairing obligations, arriving at a final market rent of £900 per month.

The property

Windows in poor condition without double glazing, significant damp penetration, and general wants of repair. The tenant also has specific interior repairing obligations under the agreement.
