In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in UB5 from £1,750 a month to £2,250 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,950 a month, valuing the property in good condition at £2,200 a month and then deducting £250 a month for damp and mould, cracked floor tiles, dated electrics, and dated kitchen and bathroom fittings. The decision was made on the papers, as neither party attended the hearing, and the tenant had since left the property.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
