The notice of increase of rent is a valid notice. … The Tribunal considers the flats that are available to rent close to the property, two of which appear to be in the same complex. These properties may not be direct comparables, but they assist the Tribunal to use its skill and judgement to determine that the open market rent for this flat, with the services provided by the landlord is £950 per month. … However, this property is not in in the condition expected of a modern market let and the market rent must therefore be adjusted, making deductions to allow for the faults that the Tribunal determines to be such as to reduce that rent by a total of £200. … The Tribunal makes a deduction of £40 per calendar month due to the obstructed window at the side of the balcony. … The Tribunal makes a deduction of £85 per calendar month due to the fact that the tenant has been required to supply his own white goods and furniture. 20.The Tribunal makes a deduction of £40 per calendar month because the small block entrance intercom is faulty. … The Tribunal makes a deduction of £5 per calendar month because of the crack in the party wall. 22.The Tribunal makes a deduction of £10 per calendar month because of the diminished light to the property. …
