What the tribunal said

The Tribunal assessed the market rent of the property, if in good condition, at £1,800.00 per month. Adjustments were applied for the lack of a landlord-provided refrigerator (£15.00 pcm), dated equipment and general disrepair/defects (£50.00 pcm), and loss of amenity due to mould (£100.00 pcm), bringing the determined rent to £1,635.00 per month.

The property

Dated kitchen and bathroom fittings from 2009, ongoing mould in the bathroom causing loss of amenity, ceiling damage from a previous water leak, missing kitchen base unit panels, and lack of a landlord-provided refrigerator.
