From the tribunal's valuation
In the first instance the Tribunal considered the submission of the Applicant that the third bedroom was not a bedroom but only a ‘compartment’. The Tribunal agrees with the Applicant that both single bedrooms are small but determines as a matter of fact that they are both bedrooms being capable of being separated off from the remaining accommodation by a door. … The Tribunal then considered the submission of the Respondent that it was not the landlord’s responsibility to repair the intruder alarm. The Tribunal disagrees with the Respondent on this point. The intruder alarm is fitted to the property and is an installation. As such, the Tribunal determines that it is the responsibility of the Respondent landlord to maintain same.
