From the tribunal's valuation
Having given consideration to the evidence provided by the parties and of its own expert, general knowledge of rental values in the area, the Tribunal determines that the open market rent for the property in good tenable condition would be £1,750 per calendar month. … Such a tenancy would normally include white goods, carpets, curtains/blinds and associated fittings to all be provided by the Landlords. … In this case the property is let with white goods, carpets and curtains all supplied by the Landlords. … The Tenant refers to rodent infestation and advice from a pest control contractor that some repairs are necessary to deal with this. The Tribunal considers that this work should be regarded as a repair to be dealt with by the Landlords and noted that this work has still not been completed by the Landlords. Accordingly, the Tribunal considers that a reduction of £50 per month should be applied which equates to £600 in a full 12 months. … The Tribunal also noted the condition of the Bathroom and Kitchen, particularly some missing kick boards and unit doors within the kitchen which do not close properly, and decided that a further reduction of £50 per month should be made to reflect these general wants of repair. …
