From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

paid during the period in the table at section 40(2), which indicates that for these offences the amount must relate to rent paid by the tenant in respect of the period of 12 months ending with the date of the offence. From August 2020, the Applicants had paid the rent of £1,190 each month until October 2021, but had then from November 2021 stopped paying any rent except for a payment of £11.90 in March 2022. Accordingly: (i) the whole of the rent for the relevant period in relation to the first offence, on 18 December 2021, would be £11,900 (the ten monthly payments from the payment on 18 January 2021 to the payment on 18 October 2021; the payment on 16/17 December 2020 falls just outside the 12-month period); (ii) the whole of the rent for the relevant period in relation to the second offence, on 7 February 2022, would be £10,710 (the nine monthly payments from the payment on 16 February 2021 to the payment on 18 October 2021). … There was no suggestion that we should make any deduction for utilities. In the usual way for this type of tenancy, these appear to have been the responsibility of the Applicants. Starting point: the severity of the offences. …
