From the tribunal's valuation

The Tribunal is required to determine the rent which the Property might reasonably be expected to achieve if let on the open market by a willing landlord under an assured periodic tenancy, having regard to the assumptions required by the relevant statutory provisions. The Tribunal has therefore considered both the condition and characteristics of the subject property and the evidence as to prevailing market rents. … The Tenant submits that the market rent should be £500 per calendar month. The Tribunal accepts that the Tenant has raised genuine concerns regarding the condition of the property and has produced evidence of water ingress, damage to the bedroom ceiling and damp and mould within parts of the property. The Tribunal has taken those matters into account when assessing the rental value. … Whilst the Tribunal has considered the comparable evidence produced by the Respondent, it gives that evidence limited weight. The information provided concerning the subject property is relatively sparse. The Tribunal has little reliable evidence regarding the size of the accommodation, the number and dimensions of the rooms, the specification of the property, its heating arrangements, its glazing, or other features ordinarily required to undertake a meaningful comparability exercise. Equally, the comparable properties relied upon by the Landlord are described only in limited terms. …
