We accept that the ground floor room was let to the Applicant from 10 April 2023 to 1 May 2024. As set out above, the First and Third Respondents admit that they committed an offence under section 72(1) of the 2004 Act during this period. The Application was made on 17 April 2024 and therefore the offence was committed in the period of 12 months ending with the date of the application. … We are therefore satisfied that the Applicant is entitled to an order under section 41 of the 2016 Act and that it is appropriate, in light of the agreed offending, to make such an order. The amount of the RRO 20. We begin by ascertaining the full rent paid by the Applicant in the 12 month period during which the First and Third Respondents were committing the offence. There was no dispute, and we find, that the Applicant paid rent in full during his occupation of the property in the sum of £490 per month. …
