From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The Tribunal was able to make a rent payment order, having been satisfied that: an offence had been committed under section 72(1) of the 2004 Act between the dates of 3 February 2022 and 5 May 2022; that the offence had been committed within the twelve months preceding the date of the application (being 25 July 2022) and that, whilst the offence had been committed, the Applicants had paid rent to the Respondent from their own funds. … The Tribunal also noted that the decision confirmed that the tribunal should have particular regard to the conduct of both parties (including the seriousness of the offence committed), the financial circumstances the landlord, whether the landlord had at any time been convicted of a relevant offence and “any other factors that appear to be relevant” [paragraph 50]. … The Tribunal was satisfied that all of these utilities and services were solely for the benefit of the tenants. The Tribunal did not accept that the services of the managing agent were solely for the benefit of the tenants and, accordingly, did not consider that any deductions for the same should be made. … With regard to the amount of the deductions, the Respondent had supplied copies of various bills for all of the utilities, other than electricity for which it stated that the figure detailed in the bundle should be used. …
