What the tribunal said
The tribunal determined a market rent of £650 per month starting from 5 October 2024. Taking into account local comparable properties, including a nearby renovated property listed at £695 per month, the tribunal made a deduction to reflect the subject property's unmodernised condition and minor items of disrepair. The tribunal noted that the date on the summary decision notice contained a clerical error and corrected the effective date to match the section 13 notice.
The property
Two-bedroom inner terrace house in generally reasonable repair. Minor brick delamination above the rear garage and damaged pointing. Minor condensation dampness noted in the living room. Kitchen and bathroom are in good condition, though both would benefit from updating. Landlord provides a cooker and drier.
