From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to its decision, I had regard to the evidence supplied by both the landlord and the tenant. The comparables were mainly superior in terms of modernisation to the subject premises and generally benefited from white goods, floor coverings and blinds or curtains. … I concluded that the rent at which the property might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market would be £1350 per month. The open market assumes that the house is in the condition usually found in open market lettings. However, in this instance the shower in the ensuite had no hot water connection and the wc was cracked; the door to the bathroom was difficult to close since the walls had been retiled, the wash basin in the ground floor wc had been removed: the original integral white goods had been replaced by free standing units, the kitchen cupboards had been painted by the tenant although they were now in need of redecoration; most of the carpets had been replaced by the tenant together with the curtains. I have deducted £100 from the monthly open market rent to reflect these matters.
