From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
calculate to be £195.61 (daily rent £27.94 x 7). We need to deduct any utility payments made by the landlord which only benefit the tenant. The parties agreed that the only utility to which this applied is water rates. These are included in the service charge payable by the Respondent and appear to amount to around £1.50 per week, which we deduct. … We need to determine what proportion of the remaining £194.12 should be paid by way of rent repayment. We consider this offence not to have been at the higher end of seriousness. The Respondent only has one property and is not a professional investor. He has kept the Property maintained. … That produces a rent repayment amount at this stage of the calculation of £48.53 (25% of £194.12). … There are no issues regarding the Applicant’s conduct raised by the Respondent. The Applicant did raise the problems he experienced with moth infestation. It does appear from the documents that the Respondent’s agents made an incorrect assumption when advising the Applicant there was no active moth infestation at the beginning of the tenancy. On the other hand, the Respondent quickly accepted responsibility, and the Property was re-carpeted fairly quickly. We take account of this conduct in the final calculation as per paragraph 25 below. …
