What the tribunal said

The tribunal assessed the open market rent in good condition at £1,200.00 per month. Deductions of £150.00 per month were made to reflect the dated condition of the kitchen and bathroom (mould/water damage) and the tenant's provision of white goods, carpets, and curtains, resulting in an open market value of £1,050.00 per month (£242.31 per week). Because the open market rent exceeds the landlord's proposed notice rent of £217.96 per week, the tribunal capped the determined rent at £217.96 per week. No undue hardship was found to delay the effective date.

The property

The property has a dated kitchen and bathroom, with mould and water damage in the bathroom. The tenant provided carpets, curtains, and white goods.
