From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to its decision, the Tribunal had regard to the evidence supplied by the landlord and the tenant, noting that the landlord had not provided any open market comparable evidence. The range of rents for the comparables reflected their location, type of property and their amenities. … The property is situated in a relatively unattractive location due its proximity to the derelict site two doors away. The curtains and white goods had been provided by the tenant. The house has single glazed windows resulting in poor insulation and the lack of any outside space, even for storage of a dustbin, are also matters which a prospective tenant would take into account when considering the rental value. … The Tribunal concluded that the rent at which the property might reasonably be expected to be let on the open market in its current condition would be £800 per month.
