From the tribunal's valuation
8 Having carefully considered all of the evidence the Tribunal considers that the rent that would be achieved in good condition with modern amenities would be £413 per week This is based upon the evidence provided by each party and greater weight was placed on the landlords comparable evidence with particular regard to Devonshire Terrace where an adjustment was made. … That however is the rent that would be achieved if the property was let in good condition with all modern amenities. Based upon the evidence provided to the Tribunal we consider that that the rent should be reduced by 10% (£41) to reflect the condition of the windows, plaster repairs, no white goods and terms of the tenancy. Our deduction reduces the rent to a figure of £372 per week 10 We have not made any deduction to reflect the decorative state of the property because this is the tenants responsibility under the term of the letting. … The tribunal considers there will be undue hardship caused by the proposed rent increase and, therefore, the rent determined by the tribunal is to take effect from the date of the Tribunals decision , being 7th June 2021.
