From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Respondent’s culpability. No documentary evidence was provided as to the date of the licence application, any correspondence with the Council regarding the application, the alleged regulatory changes, efforts to engage contractors, or delays in obtaining parts. In the absence of such evidence, the Tribunal finds that the Respondent has not discharged the burden of establishing a reasonable excuse. … The Tribunal finds that an offence, for which no reasonable excuse has been proven, is made out beyond reasonable doubt under s.43(1) of the 2016 Act. The Tribunal finds that the offence ceased on 26 March 2025 when a valid application for a licence was made. Accordingly, the Tribunal finds, in relation to the period for which an Order is sought, the offence was committed between 15 October 2024 and 25 March 2025.

Ascertain the whole of the rent for the relevant period; ii. Subtract any element of that sum that represents payment for utilities that only benefitted the tenant; iii. …
