From the tribunal's valuation
In coming to its decision, the tribunal had regard to the representations made by the tenant in relation to the condition, which appeared to the tribunal to be general wear and tear over the course of a four-year tenancy. The Landlord’s allegations of damage caused by the tenant are dismissed as there is nothing to suggest that is not fair wear and tear during the course of a tenancy. … The tribunal taking all of this into account considered that property would be worth £1300.00 per month in the open market in a fully modernised condition and applied a deduction of £50 pcm in relation to decorations. The Tribunal determined that the rent for this property is £1250.00 per month. Effective date 18. 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. … The Respondent, having followed the tenant’s face book page etc, asserts that because there is some evidence that she is working, she is not somehow suffering hardship.
