What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined the open market rent at £3,450 per month based on its own expert knowledge and comparable evidence submitted. The rent takes into account the property's configuration, specification, and condition. The tribunal declined to postpone the effective date because the tenant failed to provide sufficient evidence of undue hardship.
The property
The tenant reported worn and fraying carpets, peeling kitchen laminate with mismatched replacement unit doors, electrical fault with downlights in an en-suite, damaged window blinds, and past water leak damage to the kitchen floor. The concierge service was withdrawn in 2022. The tenant replaced a damaged bed and sofa.
