From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Act 1977. Such actions may be unreasonable but this does not in our judgment satisfy us that an offence has been committed. Has the application been made in time? … The application was made within 12 months of the offence which we have found was committed on 4th September 2021 and so the application was made within the statutory time of 12 months from the offence. Should we exercise our discretion to make an order? … We have found that an offence has been made out. Further the Respondent has chosen not to attend or challenge the evidence of the Applicant save as to his being named as the Respondent. Taking account of all the facts we are satisfied that this is a case where we should exercise our discretion to make an order. What order should we make? … The Applicant commenced his tenancy on 20th July 2022. During the 12 months prior to the offence the Applicant was required to pay rent totalling £7,140. The Applicant has produced evidence of payments [52-55] showing payments totalling £6595. … Copies of the receipts for such payments are within the supplementary bundle. We are satisfied on the evidence that the Applicant did effectively pay the whole rent required of him. … Given the sum included utilities, including internet, from which the Applicant benefitted, some deduction to allow for the same is justified. … His share of that sum would be 1/6th. …
