What the tribunal said

The open market rent in good lettable condition was estimated at £1,650 per calendar month. The tribunal allowed a 25% deduction (£412.50) for significant improvements carried out by the tenant over 33 years, resulting in a rent of £1,237.50 per month. The tenant's request for deferral of the effective date on grounds of hardship was refused due to lack of substantiating evidence.
