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 95(1) of the Act between the dates of 1 August 2018 and 19 March 2021; that the offence had been committed within the twelve months preceding the date of the application (being 24th of August 2021) and that, whilst the offence had been committed, the Applicant had paid the rent to the Respondent from his own funds. … The Tribunal noted that, under section 44(2) of the Act, the amount of the order could not exceed a period of twelve months during which the Respondent was committing the offence. The Tribunal observed that the offence had been committed for a full twelve months between the periods 20 March 2020 and 19 March 2021, during which time the amount of rent paid to the Respondent was £6,000. … 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]. …
