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 Tribunal notes the comments made by both the landlord and tenant in their submissions and takes these factors into consideration. In addition to the market evidence provided by the landlord , the landlord advised that included in the rent are water rates and service charges. Services comprise the lighting and cleaning of the common parts It is noted that in the tenant’s submission there is reference to the need to use dehumidifiers and a proposal for the landlord to find her alternative accommodation for a six month period. … Taking into account the tenant’s comments and the evidence provided, the Tribunal is of the opinion that the property has had some issues that have required ongoing maintenance but in addition does have some damp and condensation issues, which appear to be ongoing. … The Tribunal therefore makes deductions from the market rent of 10% per week to reflect the difficulties experienced. … The Tribunal therefore makes deductions from the market rent of £300 per week to reflect maintenance undertaken within the flat by the tenant. …
