From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
landlord during the relevant period. Although the period for which a RRO can be made is limited to 12 months, a Tribunal should have regard to the total length during which the offence was committed. The Tribunal should take an overall view of the circumstances in determining what amount would be reasonable. The fact that the tenant will have had the benefit of occupying the premises during the relevant period is not a material consideration. The circumstances in which the offence is committed is always likely to be material. A deliberate flouting of the requirement to register would merit a larger RRO than instances of inadvertence. Account should be taken of payment for outgoings, such as utilities. A landlord who is engaged professionally in letting is likely to be dealt with more harshly than the non- professional landlord. … He knew he needed a licence and yet failed to apply for one; when he did apply, he did not make payment and queried why he should do so. … Using the figures supplied by the Respondent, which appear to be reasonable in sum, he has paid out about £100 per month for letting fees and about £50 per month for management fees and £84 for utilities, a total of about £350 in lettings, £175 in management fees and £84 for utilities, a total, therefore, of about £609. …
