What the decision shows
The published decision gives the rent set, £1,000 a month, but not the landlord’s proposal. Older decisions often publish the rent register entry only.
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.
