From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
how little he cared about his tenants. As such, the Applicant had been psychologically affected and no longer felt safe in the property. She also felt that she was being forced to look for somewhere new to live. … The Respondent further submitted that he had been a good landlord providing high quality, safe, modern accommodation with a dedicated secure parking space and a quick response to any problems. However, it appeared to him that the Applicant felt that she could claim back up to 12 months of rent purely on a technical basis. … At the Hearing the Respondent did concede that at times, due to circumstances beyond his control, repairs had taken longer to be attended to than they should have. … The Respondent further submitted that one of his tenants had caused him a considerable loss of approximately six months’ rent although he was being considerate and assisting them in their time of need. After the tenants left the property was found to be in a very bad state and he had spent several thousand pounds bringing it up to a satisfactory standard so it could be re- let. … The Respondent submitted that as a landlord it was not a profitable business letting residential properties with service charges, ground rents and insurance not to mention the new licence fees. …
