What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed local open market rents for comparable properties and determined the open market rent to be £1,850 per month. The tribunal found no tenant disrepair requiring deduction. Finding that an immediate rent increase would cause the tenant undue hardship, the tribunal exercised its discretion to fix the starting date of the new rent to 15 November 2024.
The property
Second floor flat in a converted Victorian terrace with central heating, double aspect/Velux windows, carpet and wooden flooring. Minor wear and tear including cosmetic ceiling cracking, flaking window paint, and non-active historic ceiling leak marks were noted. Common areas are in good condition.
