Tribunal's reasoning
This is a short-form register notice rather than a full reasoned decision. The tribunal declined to increase the rent above the existing contractual level, citing the property's poor condition including extensive water ingress, penetrating damp, a damp unsealed basement, steep stairways limiting the tenant pool, and outstanding local authority regulatory notices affecting lettability.
