From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
only £900.00 per month, she said she didn’t know, and would not be drawn any further. Discussion and determination. … She misled the Tribunal and the Respondent about this at the case management hearing. Because she was never a tenant she is not entitled to make an application for an RRO under section 40 of the Act and accordingly the application must be dismissed. … However, the Tribunal will also consider the other issues raised at this hearing. … Their lack of candour is best illustrated by their failure satisfactorily to explain why payments of £1700.00 per month, including a large cash element for which there are no receipts, were being made when the written lease required only £900.00 per month. Clearly neither was prepared to tell the Tribunal the whole truth about the financial arrangements. … In order to obtain a RRO it must be proved, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the landlord has committed one of the specified offences. … (2) If any person unlawfully deprives the residential occupier of any premises of his occupation of the premises or any part thereof, or attempts to do so, he shall be guilty of an offence unless he proves that he believed, and had reasonable cause to believe, that the residential occupier had ceased to reside in the premises. …
