What the tribunal said
The Tribunal determined that the open market rent for the property in good tenantable condition would be £1,500 per month based on evidence from a neighbouring comparable flat. Due to the property's current condition, including dampness, mould from leaks, and an outmoded kitchen, a discount of approximately 10% (£150) was applied, resulting in a determined rent of £1,350 per month.
The property
The property suffers from mould arising from leaks, a leaking roof in the bathroom, peeling paint on kitchen wall tiles, worn carpets, an outmoded kitchen, faulty boiler issues, and window/seal repair requirements.
