From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
I see no reason to characterise any of those considerations as irrelevant or the decision as falling outside the range of reasonable orders that the FTT could have made.” 17. … A building meets the standard test (see below) if it is a building in which more than one household has living accommodation (other than self-contained flats) and: at least two households share a basic amenity, or the living accommodation is lacking in a basic amenity. Basic amenities are defined as a toilet, personal washing facilities or cooking facilities. The degree of sharing is not relevant and there is no requirement that all the households share those amenities. … The Tribunal first records the relevant history specifically agreed by the parties or where there is no challenge made to the case stated by the Applicant. … The Respondent is owner of the property. … The Respondent is a professional property management company owning about 40 properties and having about 80 tenants. … There was no licence for the property during periods one and two. … The Respondent accepts that the accommodation was occupied by the people as their only or main residence. The Respondent also accepts that it had no HMO licence during periods one and two of rental. It admits that it thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 72 of the 2004 Act. … The tenants paid for utilities. …
