What the tribunal said
The tribunal assessed the open market rent for the property in good order at £1,150 per month based on general market knowledge. It deducted £220 per month to reflect tenant-provided white goods and tenant improvements made after July 2014, resulting in a determined rent of £930 per month. Undue hardship was not established, so the rent takes effect from the date specified in the notice.
The property
The tenant provided white goods and carried out post-2014 improvements including kitchen upgrades, remedying cracks in front rendering, internal replastering, a new garden shed, fence panels, a chimney flue, and curtains/blinds.
