What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the open market rent for the property based on comparables and general market knowledge in Newham. It determined an open market rent of £500 per week and found that minor disrepair did not justify any reduction. The tenant's request for hardship relief was refused due to lack of evidence.
The property
The tenant reported ongoing mould growth around windows, poor building insulation, unsafe communal areas, and a non-working fire alarm. The tribunal found only minor disrepair, which did not warrant a deduction from the market rent.
