What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined that the open market rent for the property in good condition was £750 per month based on comparable local flat rents and expert knowledge. No deduction was made for property condition as the remaining issues were minor or already resolved. The tenant's request to delay the effective date for undue hardship was refused due to lack of supporting financial evidence.
The property
The tenant reported dampness and mould in the cellar, leaking pipework and radiators, kitchen unit deterioration, and damp staining on the living room ceiling. The tribunal found that defects were either remedied, minor, or did not materially affect the open market rental value.
