What the tribunal said

The tribunal determined the unadjusted open market rent for the three-bedroom mid-terraced house to be £900 per month. Deductions totaling £150 per month were made to reflect disrepair and tenant-provided items/deficiencies, including damp in the attic, kitchen appliance and sink leaks, restricted log burner, stair handrail defect, cracked bathroom floor tiles, and exterior maintenance issues, resulting in a final determined rent of £750 per month.

The property

Damp in the attic bedroom; defective kitchen oven, gas hob, and leaking sink pipe; non-working log burning stove; defective stair handrail; cracked floor tiles in the bathroom; exterior window frame, lintel, and fence defects.
