From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
relate to rent paid in a period of 12 months during which the Respondent was committing the offence. The offence ceased to be committed on 8 February 2022, the date of the application for a licence, and had been continuously committed since the date of purchase of the Property until that date. … The Applicant’s tenancy lasted some 5 months so any amount we order relates to the rent paid during that 5 month period. However, the registration fee of £206.53 was not rent, and the Applicant has only proved that £3,580.00 rent was paid during the tenancy, so that is the maximum sum we could order should be repaid. … This process is usually dealt with through the terminology of a percentage deduction from the maximum sum that can be awarded. … We consider that we should take account of the following circumstances: a. That the Respondent has no previous convictions of an offence referred to in chapter 4 of the 2016 Act; b. An offence under section 95 of the 2004 Act is not the most serious of the offences which could result in a rent repayment order; c. … The Property had some issues when the tenancy started but we consider that the Respondent sought to address those issues appropriately; f. … That the Respondent had engaged a professional agent who had let it down; i. There are no issues with the tenant’s conduct. …
