What the tribunal said
The tribunal set an initial market rent of £2,000 per month assuming good condition based on comparable local 3-bedroom properties. A deduction of £200 per month was made for the kitchen disrepair, dated overall condition, and tenant obligations for decorating, carpets, and curtains. Due to financial hardship evidence presented by the tenant, the starting date of the determined rent was delayed to the date of the decision.
The property
The property is in a dated condition with serious disrepair in the kitchen, including black mould and damp, damaged cupboard doors, cracked worktop, and water damage. The property was let without curtains, floor coverings, or white goods provided by the landlord, and with internal decorating obligations on the tenant.
