From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The Applicants claim the following sum: (i) The First Applicant claims a rent repayment order of £7100.00 for the period 1 February 2022 to 31 January 2023. (ii) The Second Applicant claims a rent repayment order of £6100.00 for the period 1 February 2022 to 31 January 2023. The First Applicant. Given that the period of the claim made by the First Applicant is for a period greater than 12 months ending with the date on which the Respondent committed the offence under section 1(3A) of the 1977 Act (being 20 February 2023) it must be the case that the Applicant’s claim is for a RRO to be made on the ground that the Respondent has committed an offence under section 72(1) of the 2004 Act, as this offending was committed during the whole 12 month period of the claim. … We begin by ascertaining the whole rent paid by the First Applicant for the period 1 February 2022 to 31 January 2023. There was no challenge to the First Applicant’s evidence that he paid rent of £7100.00 during this period and we find that this was the rent paid. … There was no suggestion that any relevant award of universal credit was paid to the First Applicant or the Respondent in respect of the rent under the tenancy during this period. … The Respondent provided no evidence of any payments made by him in respect of utilities that only benefitted the Applicant during the relevant period. …
