From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Section 44 of the 2016 Act provides that where the Tribunal decides to make an RRO against a landlord in favour of a tenant, the amount is to be determined in accordance with that section. Section 44(2) provides that in a case concerning an offence under section 95(1) of the 2004 Act, the amount must relate to rent paid during a period, not exceeding 12 months, during which the landlord was committing the offence. … Relevant caselaw. … In summary, the guidance in that case was as follows (with reference to paragraph numbers of that decision): (i) The terms of section 46 show that in cases where that section does not apply, there is no presumption that the amount ordered is to be the maximum that the Tribunal could order under section 44 [23]; (ii) Section 44(3) specifies that the total amount of rent paid is the maximum amount of an RRO, and section 44(4) requires the Tribunal in determining the amount of the RRO to have particular regard to the three factors specified in that sub- section. However, the words of that sub-section leave open the possibility of there being other factors that, in a particular case, may be taken into account and affect the amount of the order [24]; (iii) The RRO must always “relate” to the amount of the rent paid in the period in question. It cannot be based on extraneous considerations or tariffs. …
