However, following a protracted negotiation the Respondent accepted the request to end the tenancy agreement early which had cost her half a month’s rent plus council tax and utility bills. … Regardless of this the Applicant had already initiated the RRO process when the concession was made. The Respondent therefore concluded that the RRO application was made in retaliation for requesting that the Applicants adhere to the notice period in the tenancy agreement. … There was a door from the hallway to the cellar and an alarm/smoke detector immediately outside the cellar door in the hallway. … A copy of this report was not shown to the Tribunal.

She and her husband had made no provision for the possibility of the RRO when they purchased their new home in May 2022. …
