From the tribunal's valuation
In respect of the rubbish and debris left in the yard/shed, the Landlord conceded that this was an unfortunate oversight by the agent and sympathised with the tenant. The Tribunal does not believe that this was a wilful act of neglect by the Landlord but a misunderstanding with their appointed agent. Given that the situation was resolved, no adjustment is considered appropriate to the proposed rent. … In respect of the oven, there is no clear evidence of the reason as to why it was not working nor indeed the current position as the tenant has not responded to the enquiry raised by the Landlord in March 2025. What is clear is that the Landlord, once made aware of the position, was proactive in attempting to resolve the matter. Accordingly, given there is no evidence of wilful neglect or failure by the Landlord to take appropriate action, no further adjustment to the proposed rent is deemed appropriate. … As to the appropriate rent, the Tribunal has not been provided with any assistance by either party to determining the appropriate rent. Accordingly, relying on its own expert and general knowledge of rental values in the area and, where relevant, having regard to maintenance and/or condition issues reported in submissions, the Tribunal considers that the market rental of the subject Property presented in satisfactory condition would be in the order of £825 pcm.
