As the tribunal described the home in its decision.
What the decision shows
The published decision gives the rent set, £950 a month, but not the landlord’s proposal. Older decisions often publish the rent register entry only.
The rent set is below the £1,225 the tenant was already paying. The tribunal values the home as it is, whatever the current rent.
Damp or mould came up in the decision. Condition the landlord is responsible for is usually deducted from the market rent.
