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. … Section 11 defines housing costs as an amount in respect of any liability of a claimant to make payments in respect of the accommodation they occupy as a home. … The Tribunal concludes that it is entitled to include the deposit of £500.00 in the RRO. … The maximum payable under RRO must not exceed the rent paid. If the rent has not been paid it cannot be included in the RRO. … There is no evidence that the rent paid for the property included an award of universal credit. … His insistence that she was wrong and had been badly advised when she pointed out that he had no HMO licence for the property was misleading. … The Tribunal formed the view that he would not suffer financial hardship from the imposition of a RRO. … Under those provisions the Tribunal was required to make an order of such amount as it considered reasonable in all the circumstances. … The structure of the 2016 legislation requires the Tribunal to determine first the maximum amount payable under an RRO and then to determine the actual amount payable by taking into the circumstances of the case, having particular regard to specific factors. …
