What the tribunal said

The tribunal assessed the open market rent for the property in reasonable order at £660.00 per month. A deduction of £20.00 per month was made to account for the lack of a landlord-provided cooker, bringing the determined market rent to £640.00 per month.

The property

The property is of basic standard throughout. The kitchen was upgraded and double-glazing and central heating are installed. Some mould was reported at the top of the stairs, the landlord provided no cooker, and the shared garden was unkempt.
