From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
(2) The amount must relate to rent paid during the period mentioned in the table … (3) The amount that the landlord may be required to repay in respect of a period must not exceed – (a) the rent paid in respect of that period, less (b) any relevant award of universal credit paid (to any person) in respect of rent under the tenancy during that period. … Rent repayment orders may be made in response to a range of offences. To some of them section 46 applies and the whole of the rent must be repaid if the landlord has already been convicted. … 44(2) mean “equate to rent paid during the period …”. … But the amount of the rent paid during the period is not a starting point in the sense that there is a presumption that that amount is the amount of the order in any given case, or even the amount of the order subject only to the factors specified in s.44(4).” 15. … It is beyond question that the seriousness of the offence is a relevant factor – as one would expect from the express statutory provision that the conduct of the landlord is to be taken into consideration. …
