From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Tribunal considers reasonable in the circumstances”. … In addition the Tribunal must take into account the matters mentioned in s74(6): a) We accept the Tenants figure and find that the total amount of relevant payments is £7,200. b) The broad financial circumstances of the Landlord are set out above. c) As is the general conduct of the Landlord above. d) There is no relevant conduct of the Tenant to be taken into account. … (ii) The Landlord has not been fined for the offence and we therefore find that this was not a serious offence given the Landlords response seeking to licence the Property as soon as she was informed. (iii) The Tenant asks for a “full refund”. However, there is no presumption that the RRO should be for the total amount received by the Respondent. (iv) We accept the Tenant’s figure and find the total amount of rent received during the relevant period was £7,200.
