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 decided that the Respondent committed the offence from the 1 October 2018 to 31 July 2019, a period of ten months. … The maximum amount payable by the Respondent under a RRO is £4,400. … Further the Respondent was a charity and that its resources funded its charitable activities. … The Respondent devoted time and resources to education which was a fundamental part of its constitution. … In 2017/2018 over 2,300 students and teachers stepped through its doors. … The accounts recorded that the Respondent received rental income of £53,549 from 15 York Road which constituted about 40 per cent of its total income during the year. … The Tribunal must take an overall view of the circumstances in determining what amount should be reasonable”. … The 2016 Act extended the scope of rent repayments orders with an emphasis upon the landlord not benefiting from the letting of sub- standard accommodation and also removed the requirement for the Tribunal to determine such amount as it considered reasonable for the eventual order. …
