From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

vague. … The whole rent paid over the relevant period of 24 July 2023 to 1 January 2024 totalled £2,912.74 (i.e. 5 months at £550, plus 9 days calculated at £18.08 per day). … Accordingly, the maximum RRO which could be ordered in favour of the Applicant is £2,912.74. No universal credit (or housing benefit) was paid to the Applicant which needs to be deducted pursuant to section 44(3)(b). Having control of or managing an unlicensed HMO is not an offence described in section 46(3) to require a RRO to be the maximum amount that the Tribunal has power to order. … The Tribunal has reached the conclusions below on the other specific matters it is to take into account under section 44(4), and as to any other matters it considers relevant. Deductions for utilities. The rent included the cost of utilities for water charges, gas, electricity, and broadband. It is also included Council Tax and insurance. Account must be taken of the benefit derived to the tenant for the inclusion of these facilities within the rent. … According to the Respondent the total amount was divided four ways between the four rooms. This resulted in a sum of £1,712.44 per annum (£142.70 per month) for each room. … No documentation was provided of sums actually incurred but the figures were not contested by the Applicant and the Tribunal has no other information on the amounts. …
