From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Accordingly, the Applicant sought to recover the sum of £4,545.00 for 12 months’ rent paid between 30 July 2022 to 29 September 2023. This took into account that the Respondent had a defence under section 95(3)(a) of the 2004 Act for 31 days from the date upon which the TEN had been applied for, to the date when the TEN application was rejected by the local authority and the appeal period for the same had elapsed. … The Applicant confirmed that she was not a receipt of the housing element of universal credit for housing benefit and was responsible for all utilities. … In relation to the conduct of the parties, the Applicant referred to the presence of mould in the living room and bathroom at the commencement of the tenancy, which she stated was reported to the Respondent multiple times but not rectified, and the lack of a carbon monoxide detector at the Property. … The Applicant also referred to the shed/outbuilding being in a poor state of condition, which she stated was also highlighted to the Respondent. … In relation to the seriousness of the offence, although the Applicant accepted that an offence in relation to section 95 might be less serious than other offences, the Tribunal was asked to note that the Respondent had failed to keep abreast of his legal obligations and that the offence had been committed for a lengthy period. …
