In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,000 a month, up from £847.50 a month, for a three-bedroom flat in PL1. The tribunal determined a rent of £900 a month, starting from a modernised market figure of £1,150 a month and then making deductions for heating and windows, missing curtains, anti-social issues linked to the entry system, dirty carpets and mould. The tribunal found the tenant's hardship case insufficient to delay the start of the new rent.
