What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined the market rent to be £775 per month based on market evidence and expert knowledge. The effective date was deferred to the decision date because the tenants demonstrated that an earlier date would cause undue financial hardship.
The property
The property experienced condensation-related damp and mould, and was reported to be cold and difficult to heat. A previous bathroom leak and electrical socket issue had both been rectified. The tribunal found no obvious matters of disrepair that would impact the rental value.
