From the tribunal's valuation
The tribunal has considered the evidence of the parties relating to the condition of the property and also the limited explanation of how the rent has been calculated. As no comparable rental evidence has been provided by the parties the tribunal also relies on its knowledge and experience. … The tribunal considers that the various items of disrepair identified by the survey reports are relatively minor in themselves. Additionally, the landlord has indicated it intends to renew the kitchen and bathroom fittings once it gains access. The tribunal notes that the tenant is responsible for internal decoration. … The tribunal considers that this flat, repaired and modernised, let in the market on an AST on normal market terms, in the condition the market would expect including carpets, curtains and white goods would achieve a rent of £450 per week. The tribunal has deducted 10% to reflect their lack of carpets, curtains and white goods to reach a rent of £405 per week. … Starting from the same point but with the property in the condition seen at the tribunal’s inspection and taking into account the tenants decorating liability, the tribunal considers that the deduction from the market rent of £450.00 per week would be 20% giving a rent of £360.00 per week and makes its determination accordingly. …
