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 £950 per month. The open market assumes that the bungalow is in the condition usually found in open market lettings. However, without the tenant’s improvements the bungalow would require updating: the kitchen and ensuite have both been updated by the tenant and the carpets, curtains and white goods are the tenants. … I have deducted £100 from the open market rent to reflect these matters together with the terms of the tenancy since the tenant has more onerous obligations in terms of being responsible for minor internal repairs and internal decorations than is the norm under an Assured Shorthold letting. .
