From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Tribunal of £2870.51. … The Applicant gave evidence, and clarified what at first blush was a contradiction in his 2 statements, concerning the number of persons in the Property. In his first statement, he had said that there were 4 bedrooms, 3 of which were occupied, with the 4th used as a communal room to store personal belongings of all the tenants. In his second statement, he corrected this, saying that he did not make it clear that out of the 4 bedrooms, he occupied 1, and the remaining 3 bedrooms were occupied by 4 people, such that a total of 5 people actually lived in the house. The Tribunal pressed the Applicant as to the reasons for the correction. The Applicant was candid in stating that this inaccuracy was not spotted by him when signing the first statement. … The Applicant was then asked questions by the Respondent. The Respondent asked who signed the agreement, and whether it was he. The Applicant responded that the person who signed the agreement in his presence on 21 August 2021 looked a different person to the person appearing before him in the hearing. … The Applicant was asked to whom he had paid his rent. … The Applicant was asked what name was on the tenancy deposit certificate. … The Applicant confirmed that he had never met the Respondent until the hearing. …
