Rent tribunal decisions where disrepair was raised
Published market-rent decisions that discuss disrepair, and what it did to the rent.
Why it matters
The tribunal values the home in its actual condition. Repairs the landlord should have done are usually deducted from the market rent.
Of 27 new-rules decisions in these decisions, 16 set the rent below the landlord’s notice. Under the new rules a challenge can only lower the rent.
The tribunal valued the home above the notice but could only award the notice figure. Under-pricing is now a 12-month ceiling.
New-rules decisions where the rent was held at, or set below, what the tenant already paid.
