What the tribunal said

The Tribunal determined that the market rent for the property in good tenantable condition would be 800 per month. Deductions of 125 per month were made to account for dated kitchen and bathroom equipment and general disrepair/defects, arriving at a final rent of 675 per month. The Tribunal found the increase would not cause undue hardship and declined to defer the effective date.

The property

Insecure patio doors, oven faults, disrepair and mould in kitchen units/surfaces, non-functional bathroom extractor fan, blown double glazing in bedroom bay window, and dated kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
