What the tribunal said
The Tribunal assessed the unimproved market rent for the property at £550.00 per month. It deducted £25.00 per month to reflect issues including damp and mould, ventilation difficulties due to external rubbish smells/pests, slug invasions, restricted natural light, and high running costs of electric heating and continuous dehumidifier use. The effective date was postponed to 20 August 2026 to avoid undue financial hardship to the tenant.
The property
The property suffers from damp, mould, and slug infestations through gaps behind skirting boards. Communal rubbish bins directly outside cause odour and pest issues, restricting window ventilation. The flat lacks central heating, relying on electric heaters, continuous running of a dehumidifier and bathroom extractor fan, and electric lighting during the day due to restricted natural light in the basement.
