From the tribunal's valuation
The tenancy is one to which Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 applies. The Tribunal accepts that the flat was in very poor condition, unheated, with no hot water in the dated kitchen, a dated shower/wc and a window frame and sash cord requiring attention. … In coming to its decision, I have used as the starting point the rent of £500 per week which the parties had agreed was the open market rental value for the flat if let in the usual condition for lettings on an Assured Shorthold basis. … The flat was let without the floor and window coverings, modernised kitchen with white goods and bathroom with modern fittings usually found in an assured shorthold letting. In addition, the landlord of an assured shorthold usually redecorates unless the existing decorations are in very good condition.
