From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal has relied solely on its own expertise and general knowledge of rental values in the area and considers that the open market rent for this property unfurnished but in good tenantable condition would be in the region of £2,000 per calendar month. … From this level of rent, the Tribunal has considered the evidence of both parties and its own observations on inspection, and has made adjustments particularly in relation to: i. lack of curtains and white goods, other than the cooker which is not in proper working order, ii. dated kitchen in poor repair, iii. leaks in the bathroom and to (or above) the boiler, iv. signs of water ingress and visible mould in the hall and downstairs cloakroom (under the flat roof) and kitchen (from the bathroom above), v. condensation mould to windows, particularly the bedrooms, and lack of proper bathroom ventilation, vi. damaged internal doors and no bathroom lock, limiting privacy, vii. poor condition of floor coverings. … There appears to be no written or verbal agreement in relation to repairs and decorations. As a result, the Tribunal finds that section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 applies and the Landlord is responsible for the structure and exterior of the property, installations for the supply of water gas or electricity and space heating. The landlord is also responsible for his own fixtures and fittings. …
