From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
of any rent repayment order. … Whilst no authorities were placed before the Tribunal the Tribunal accepts that the starting point is to award the full amount of the rent paid during the relevant period. No evidence has been put forward suggesting a reduction in the amount. … The Tribunal is satisfied that a rent repayment order for the full amount paid by the Applicant of £3,000 should be made in all the circumstances of this case. … Turning to the Applicant’s application for reimbursement of the fees paid of £300 the Tribunal agrees to make such an order. The Applicant has been wholly successful in his application and the Respondent’s failure to engage has led to the fees being incurred and it is just and equitable for these to be added to the sums to be paid to the Applicant. Conclusion. … Further the Tribunal orders that within 28 days of this determination the Respondent should pay to the Applicant £300 as reimbursement of fees paid by the Applicant to the Tribunal.
