From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The Tribunal was provided with an electronic bundle, which included a copy of the tenancy agreement dated from 23 January 2021. … The monthly rent for room 1, the Applicant’s room was £825.00 per month. … As they were unable to top up the meter, she had been provided with an electric kettle and a wash basin. … Although she was unclear on the dates, her clear evidence was that shortly after she moved into the property. The other room on the first floor was let to a couple, who had a young baby. The second floor was then let to a young man and approximately two months before she left the property the second room on the ground floor was rented to a woman. … She had been unable to open the window in her room as the window edges were covered in something which she described as black and sticky. The curtain rail within her room had fallen down. … Within the bathroom there had been broken tiles, and additionally leaking to the plumbing works. As her room had been directly underneath the bathroom this had periodically caused leaking through her light fitting, and this continued to make “fizzing and popping noises” which she took to be electricity possibly coming into contact with water, which was potentially very dangerous. She had complained about this but it had not been fixed. …
