From the tribunal's valuation
With regard to the written representations of the Tenant the Tribunal bases its assessment on the condition of the Property as it is on the day of the inspection, subject to any tenant’s improvements or non-compliance. Therefore, the position of the kitchenette and bathroom prior to the commencement of the Tenancy are not relevant. Also, although it may have taken some time to resolve the issues regarding the electricity and plumbing and to mitigate the mould problems, nevertheless, the Tribunal can only consider the position as it is at the present time. In addition, the legislation makes it clear that the Tribunal cannot take into account the personal circumstances of the Tenant. … With regard to the written representations of the Landlord, the Tribunal bases its assessment on the level of rents for comparable properties let on similar terms in the locality as at the time of the inspection.

There are flats which command higher rentals but these, unlike the Property, are well appointed with modern facilities and have off road parking. …
