From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
to pay under a RRO (section 44(3) of the 2017 Act? … The amount that can be ordered under an RRO must relate to a period not exceeding 12 months during which the landlord was committing the offence. The Tribunal has decided that the Respondents committed the offence from the 1 October 2018 to 3 September 2021, a period of two years, 11 months and 2 days. … In determining the amount, the Tribunal must have regard in particular, to factors in section 44 of the 2016 Act, namely, the conduct and financial circumstances of the Respondents, whether at any time the Respondent had been convicted of a housing offence to which section 40 applies, and the conduct of the Applicants. … A tribunal must have particular regard to the conduct of both parties (which includes the seriousness of the offence committed), the financial circumstances of the landlord and whether the landlord has at any time been convicted of a relevant offence. The tribunal should also take into account any other factors that appear to be relevant”. … A particular feature of this case was that the rent included the costs of electricity and gas, the internet and cable TV and Council Tax. … The Tribunal applying its general knowledge and its expertise as an expert Tribunal considered that a proportion of 20 per cent was a reasonable estimate of the likely costs for these utilities.
