The Applicant confirmed that she was seeking a rent repayment order for the period 16th January 2023 until 15th January 2024, being a period of twelve months at a rental of £925.00 per month.

However, the Applicant had not only remained in occupation for the full twelve months of her tenancy but had also remained in occupation for a further three months. If the Applicant was so dissatisfied, she had several opportunities to terminate earlier but decided not to. …
