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 a RRO must relate to a period not exceeding 12 months during which the landlord was committing the offence. The Tribunal has decided that the Respondent committed the offence from the 8 July 2019 to 26 March 2020 (inclusive). The Applicants vacated the property on 27 March 2020. … The Applicants paid the Respondent rent of £19,803.00 for the period of 8 July 2019 to 26 March 2020. The calculation is set out at [3 ]. … The Tribunal, therefore, finds that the maximum amount that the Respondent can be ordered to pay under a RRO is £19,803.00. … In determining the amount, the Tribunal must, in particular, take into account the conduct and financial circumstances of the Respondent in her capacity as landlord, whether at any time the Respondent had been convicted of a housing offence to which section 40 applies, and the conduct of the Applicants. … The Applicants did not consider the Respondent to be exemplary landlord and that she was slow at times to resolve specific issues during the tenancy, particularly faults with the central heating system, and the major water leaks downstairs near the front door. … The Applicants denied that they had left the property in a dirty state when they vacated it in March 2020. They asserted that the property was thoroughly cleaned before their departure. …
