What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined the open market rent using its expert knowledge of rental values in the area, taking into account the property's specification, building amenities (gym, concierge, gardens), and cosmetic condition issues. The tenant requested a delayed effective date on hardship grounds, but this was refused due to lack of financial evidence.
The property
Part-furnished tenancy. Minor cosmetic damage to living room wooden flooring and kitchen surfaces; unpleasant smells from garbage room entrance; lack of air conditioning causing high summer temperatures; presence of night security guards following a local incident. Building amenities include concierge, communal gardens, and gym.
