From the tribunal's valuation
The Tribunal accepts the landlord’s evidence of the current rent for room 2, and that the rent for room 2 of £735 per month reflects the personal circumstances of the tenant. It also accepts that this room was approximately 10 sq. m rather than 15 sq.m for the subject property and that room 2 also has a much smaller window. … The letting for an upstairs room was for an ensuite which is significantly better. The tribunal determines that the room one in good condition would attract a rent of £900 per month. … In terms of condition, the Tribunal did not notice evidence of pest infestation. It noticed damp staining. It also notes that the landlord was not made aware of the door closure being broken. The uPVC windows appeared to be in good condition. The shower room did show evidence of mould to the ceiling. The kitchen/diner appeared adequate but there were signs of damp penetration to plasterwork. … In view of the overall condition of the shared areas and the condition of the room itself the Tribunal determines a rent of £810 per calendar month. … Accordingly the rent of £810 per month takes effect from 1 April 2025.
