What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the open market rent for the property in good condition with landlord-supplied carpets and white goods at £1,200 per month. A deduction of £660 (55%) was applied to account for the property's condition, tenant improvements, and lack of landlord-provided carpets and white goods, resulting in a market rent of £540 per month.
The property
The property exhibits penetrating damp to internal walls and chimney stacks. The kitchen and bathroom fittings are around 20 years old. The tenant has undertaken substantial repairs and improvements including central heating installation, consumer unit replacement, and general maintenance. Landlord provides no white goods or carpets.
