From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
repayment order? … The February 2015 report recorded two minor instances of mildew. … The Tribunal considers the evidence on improvement notices equivocal. … A contractor repaired it on 4 January 2018 who reported that the tenants had set the boiler at maximum pressure which the boiler could not cope with. … The Tribunal does not place weight on the absence of double glazing from the property. … The issues included a leak in the kitchen, broken bannister and fridge door and extractor which occurred in 2017. … The Tribunal noted that there is a current dispute with the last two weeks of the rent and the return of the deposit. … The Tribunal considers an unfortunate consequence of adversarial proceedings is that the parties overstate their cases. … Decision. … The Tribunal, however, observes that section 44 requires the Tribunal to take into account the conduct and financial circumstances of the landlord. … Further the Tribunal found that the property was in a reasonable state of repair. … The Tribunal decides that the management fee, costs of landlords’ insurance and the cost of the repair to the toilet flush and kitchen drawer but not the selective licensing fee should be deducted from the gross rent. The Tribunal has not considered the tax position relevant to its calculation.
