As the tribunal described the home in its decision.

What the decision shows

The landlord proposed £2,400 a month (+37.1% on the £1,750 already paid), and the tribunal confirmed it in full.

Damp or mould came up in the decision. Condition the landlord is responsible for is usually deducted from the market rent.

The tenant asked for the new rent to start later for undue hardship; the tribunal did not agree, or the decision does not say it did.
