What the tribunal said
The tribunal established an open market rent of £570 per month for the property in good condition. A deduction of £50 per month was made to reflect defects, specifically condensation and mould arising from building construction. The rent takes effect from the date in the section 13 notice as no evidence of undue hardship was provided.
The property
The property suffers from condensation and mould issues, partly caused by an unheated garage underneath the flat, resulting in black spots in the corners of all rooms and damage to personal belongings.
