Further, a landlord is encouraged to put matters right since he will know that, once he does so, there will be no danger of his being ordered to repay future rental payments.” 32. … (2) A rent repayment order is an order requiring the landlord under a tenancy of housing in England to— (a) repay an amount of rent paid by a tenant, or (b) pay a local housing authority an amount in respect of a relevant award of universal credit paid (to any person) in respect of rent under the tenancy.” 33. Section 40(3) lists seven offences “committed by a landlord in relation to housing in England let by that landlord”. Those include “control or management of an unlicenced HMO”, and “control or management of an unlicenced house”. … The failure to licence a property is one of the less serious offences of the seven offences for which a rent repayment order may be made. … (2) A tenant may apply for a rent repayment order only if — (a) the offence relates to housing that, at the time of the offence, was let to the tenant, and (b) the offence was committed in the period of 12 months ending with the day on which the application is made. …
