What the tribunal said

The tribunal assessed the market rent for the flat in good condition at £1,600 per calendar month based on comparable lettings. Due to the very poor condition of the property, a 50% deduction was applied, resulting in £800 per month, converted to £184.61 per week.

The property

The property was in very poor overall condition, featuring peeling wallpaper, flaking paint, defective ceilings, very worn carpets, old stained kitchen and bathroom fittings, uneven floorboards under lino, and insufficient electrical sockets.
