From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
value of these properties might be. He told us that he lives in his brother’s property but pays the outgoings and has five children who live with him. He is employed as a taxi driver with his own car but that is on finance. … He confirmed he was not aware of any conduct on the part of the Applicants that he would ask us to take into account. … Apparently there were damp issues. More vexing perhaps was the fact that there appeared to be a failure by the agents to settle the utility bill. The tenancy agreement provides for the first £25 per month, per tenant to be met by the Respondent and that the Applicants would thereafter be responsible for the balance of any utility bill. … A complaint was made by the Applicants that because of the default they were left having to suffer a meter at the Property, which resulted in their costs being higher than would otherwise have been the case. It seems that no bills had been paid at the Property since September of 2021. However, we were not provided with any comparable evidence to show what the electricity and gas bills may have been and whether £1,820 was a reasonable amount. It seems that within these sums was an enforcement fees of £300 and therefore the sum of £1,520 is perhaps all that was payable by the Applicants. …
