What the tribunal said

The Tribunal determined an unadjusted open market rent of £660.00 per month for the property in reasonable condition, but deducted £20.00 per month to reflect that the tenant had to pay to replace a broken washing machine provided with the tenancy, resulting in a final rent of £640.00 per month.

The property

Ground floor flat in pre-1900 terrace with modern kitchen and bathroom, central heating, and double-glazing. Past leaks/damp were repaired by the landlord, but the tenant paid to replace a broken washing machine.
