What the tribunal said
The tribunal estimated the open market rent for the flat in good condition at £2000 per month. It deducted £100 per month to reflect the presence of electric storage heating instead of gas heating, bringing the determined rent to £1900 per month. The tenant's hardship application was rejected due to lack of sufficient supporting detail.
The property
Electric storage heating rather than gas, mould patches on walls, little storage space, and old-fashioned/tired original kitchen and bathroom fittings.
