What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined the open market rent for the property in good condition to be £1,480 per month based on comparable local evidence. A deduction of £440 per month was applied to reflect severe damp and mould issues, defective heating, overflowing drainage, and lack of landlord-provided white goods, resulting in a determined rent of £1,040 per month.

The property

Significant damp and mould affecting main walls, defective heating system, overflowing drains discharging effluent into the garden, and lack of white goods except for an integrated hob and oven.
