From the tribunal's valuation
The tribunal has considered the rental evidence put forward by both parties. … Based on the evidence provided, the tribunal agrees with the decisions of the two previous tribunals that if this flat were let in the open market on normal assured shorthold tenancy terms it would attract a rental of £1000 per calendar month. … The tribunal also notes that the 2019 tribunal made a deduction of 30% for various matters including disrepair. … If the property had been in the condition described in the 2019 decision, the tribunal would have agreed with their decision and awarded no increase. However as repairs have been carried out albeit after considerable delay the tribunal makes a small adjustment in the discount and finds that the rent requested by the landlord of £718.90 is reasonable. Effective date 38. Under s14 (7) of the Housing Act 1988 the effective date of the decision would normally be the date shown on the application unless there is hardship to the tenant. … On the evidence submitted by the tenant, the tribunal does not find sufficient evidence of hardship and therefore the effective date of the decision is 1 April 2020.
