From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
relevant period was £4,482.50. … Firstly, the Tribunal considered the financial circumstances of the Landlord Respondent and secondly the conduct of the parties. … Therefore, the costs incurred in respect of the Property should be taken into account. … Despite both parties having been given the opportunity to provide supporting information in relation to their financial position, no further information or documentary evidence was provided. … The Tribunal then considered how much of the profit should be repaid. … On this basis a higher award is to be made against those landlords who fail to obtain a licence to avoid the scrutiny of the local authority and flagrantly disregard the safety, health and welfare of their tenants. … However, the length of time that the offence has been committed and the degree of culpability of the landlord are relevant factors. … In considering the conduct of the Landlord Respondent the Tribunal found no evidence that the Respondent Landlord or its Agent had at any time been convicted of an offence to which the specific legislation applies in the past or in relation to this offence. … The Tribunal took this conduct into account, although it was minor in nature. …
