In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £950 a month for a three-bedroom house in LE4, and the tenant referred the proposal to the tribunal. The tribunal decided a rent of £930 a month from 20 June 2024, after valuing the property at £1,020 a month and deducting £90 for disrepair including the bathroom, damp and cracks, the boiler and the garden gate. The tenant’s statement that they could not afford the rent was disregarded because they did not complete the hardship form.
Neither side gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
