From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
applicant can prove should have been established from her own evidence. … He asserted that the Tribunal had wrongly put the respondent in the incriminating position of providing evidence against himself. … She repeated that she did not sublet the Property, but she had had visitors. … There was no issue on this point. The documentation disclosed from the Council is compelling. As to the circumstances. The Respondent accepted that there was selective licensing in the local housing authority area where the Property was located. … It follows that the Tribunal can be sure than an offence was committed. It is plainly beyond reasonable doubt that an offence under section 95(1) was committed: the Respondent had control of and was managing the Property, which was a house which required to be licenced from 1st August 2018 and was not so licensed. Did the offence relate to housing that, at the time of the offence, was let to the tenant? … Again this was not in dispute, the Property was let to the Applicant pursuant to consecutive tenancy agreements as set out above. Was an offence committed by the landlord in the period of 12 months ending with the date the application was made? … The Application was received by the Tribunal on 8th June 2020, when the period of the offence ended on 17th September 2019 (the day preceding the submission of the licence application by the Respondent). …
