What the tribunal said

The Tribunal determined that the open market rent for the property in good order would be £1000 per month. Deductions totaling £40 per month were made to reflect the property's shortcomings (£15 for inadequate white goods and £25 for condition issues), resulting in a determined market rent of £960 per month.

The property

Tenant noted continuous dampness and mould problems requiring use of a dehumidifier, cracking to ceiling and floors, and white goods in poor condition. Landlord noted recent refurbishment works including windows, porch, and electrical circuitry. Tribunal adjusted £15/month for inadequate white goods and £25/month for general condition.
