What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the market rent for the room, if fully modernised and in good repair with bills included, at £700 per month. Deductions totaling £175 per month were applied to reflect the unmodernised state, issues with condensation, mould and defective heating, and the fact that the tenant pays separately for room electricity. The determined market rent is £525 per month.
The property
Unmodernised condition with mould around windows, poorly sealed single glazing, radiator issues, and worn decoration and carpets in communal areas.
