From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal must firstly determine the market rent for a property of this size, in this location and in its current condition. It must also disregard the personal circumstances of either party. … The addition to rental value of any tenants improvements is ignored. … The Tribunal notes the comments made by both the landlord and the tenant in their submissions and takes these into consideration. In addition the Tribunal was referred to its previous determination in September 2022. While no inspection has been made on this occasion the Tribunal is of the view that those items for which deductions were made in September 2022 will continue to warrant deduction now . These can be detailed as follows: 30. Tenants white goods curtains, and floor coverings (10%) 31. Bathroom tiling and refitting toilet and sink (5%) 32. Damp proofing hallway, stripping interior doors, and replacing the front door (10%) roof repairs (5%) 33. Without evidence or submission from the landlord relating to the kitchens it is assumed that the condition of the kitchen remains as it was in September 2022 and thus a further deduction of 5% is made 34. These adjustments aggregated to 35%. … Therefore, the Tribunal made an adjustment of £437.50 form the market rent of £1,250 per month to give a net rent of £812.50 per month
