What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined the open market rent for the property in good condition to be £1450.00 pcm based on comparable evidence and local knowledge. However, because the landlord's proposed rent of £1415.00 pcm was lower than the open market rent, the tribunal capped the determined rent at £1415.00 pcm. The tenant's request to delay the effective date on grounds of undue hardship was rejected due to lack of supporting evidence.

The property

The property was considered to be in good order with no evidence of disrepair submitted. The tenant noted that they had replaced the downstairs flooring.
