From the tribunal's valuation
Overall, the Tribunal finds that the property is in a poorly maintained condition. Both parties argue that the other is responsible for either damage, or failure to report damage to the landlord. There is insufficient evidence for the Tribunal to adjudicate exactly on the respective claims. Nonetheless it is clear to the Tribunal both that the property had not been maintained by the tenant to a standard that one might expect; and that there was deterioration to the general fabric due to a significant lack of maintenance by the landlord, including for example the disrepair of rainwater goods, degraded double glazed windows, rotting wood in other windows, and broken garden fencing, all of which are landlord responsibilities. … Following consideration of the written and photographic submissions given by both parties, the hearing, and the Tribunal’s own inspection, and using its own knowledge and experience of the rental market in Ilford, the Tribunal finds that the market rental value of the property, if it were in good condition, would be £3,000.00 per month. …
