What the tribunal said
The tribunal considered market comparables provided by both parties and adjusted landlord evidence to remove sitting-tenant review factors, concluding advertised rents were more representative. Market rent in good order was determined to be £1,225 pcm. No evidence was submitted to support a deferral on grounds of undue hardship.
The property
The tenant noted the flat was cold and drafty in winter. The tribunal determined the property was in good condition overall.
