As the tribunal described the home in its decision.
What the decision shows
This is a regulated tenancy under the Rent Act 1977. The tribunal registered a fair rent of £500 a month.
The Maximum Fair Rent Order applied: without it the fair rent would have been £582 a month. The cap limits each increase by a formula linked to RPI.
Fair rents are a different regime from Section 13 market rents, so they are kept out of every market-rent figure on this site.
