What the tribunal said
The tribunal estimated the open market rent for the flat in good condition at £1250 per month based on comparable evidence in the block. Total deductions of £300 per month were made to reflect the lack of full central heating (£100), unmodernised kitchen and lack of white goods (£100), carpets (£30), tenant curtains (£15), and plaster damage and poor decoration (£55), resulting in a determined market rent of £950 per month.
The property
Lack of full central heating with only a single storage heater in the hallway. Dated kitchen without landlord-provided white goods. Tenant-provided curtains and poor condition carpets. Cracking plaster in bedrooms, condensation in double glazing, damaged ceiling in bathroom, and poor decoration overall.
