From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
account: (a) the conduct of the landlord and the tenant; (b) the financial circumstances of the landlord; and (c) whether the landlord has at any time been convicted of any of the offences set out in section 40. … We would take into account the exceptional conduct of the Respondent and the Applicant. The Respondent sought in negotiating the tenancy and in the terms of the tenancy agreement to ensure that this situation would not arise, did nothing to cause the problem and simply did not act quickly enough when she ought to have investigated and discovered the breach and taken steps to resolve the problem. In relation to the relevant period, the Applicant was the main cause of the problem, in breach of his obligations under the tenancy agreement, and then (in our assessment) repeatedly gave untrue evidence, probably to seek to persuade us to make a rent repayment order despite this. To avoid repetition, please refer to the summary above of the parties’ conduct. … The Respondent’s financial circumstances are not exceptional, but we would take them into account. We accept their evidence at the end of the hearing that their financial circumstances are relatively limited. … They told us that their mortgage of the Property was about 70% of its value and their mortgage of their own home was about 90% of its value. …
