What the tribunal said
The Tribunal set an initial unadjusted market rent of 1300 per month based on comparable local properties. Deductions totalling 100 per month were applied for the tenant's provision of reception room carpeting (10), general disrepair and dated condition (25), tenant obligations for internal decoration and minor repairs (25), and loss of amenity due to persistent mould growth (40), yielding a final determined rent of 1200 per month.
The property
The property has ongoing issues with damp and black mould growth, along with items of general disrepair and dated condition including worn kitchen surfaces. The carpet in the reception room was provided by the tenant.
