From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
54 In accordance with section 44(2) of the 2016 Act, the amount of an order must relate to rent paid in a period, not exceeding 12 months, during which the landlord was committing an offence under section 95(1) of the 2004 Act. 55 In accordance with section 44(3) of the 2016 Act, the amount that the landlord is required to repay in respect of the period must not exceed the rent paid by the tenant in respect of that period less any relevant award of universal credit paid (to any person) in respect of rent under the tenancy during that period. 56 The Applicants were not in receipt of universal credit during any period of the tenancy and the tenancy agreement did not provide for any services to be included with the ‘rent’.

Between 31 July 2024 to 31 January 2025 the rent paid was £750 per month making a total payment of £4500.00 (6 x £750 per calendar month). Between 1 February 2025 to 30 July 2025 the rent paid was £800 per calendar month making a total of £4800.00 (6 x £800 per calendar month). …
