What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined an open-market rent of £750 per month based on comparable local room shares in similar 5-bedroom houses, taking into account that the property includes all utilities and furniture. The tenant's request for a delayed effective date due to undue hardship was rejected for lack of supporting financial evidence.
The property
Tenant reported persistent damp and historical repair issues; tribunal noted water leak had been resolved and redecoration completed prior to the valuation date. No shared living room.
