From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The Tribunal is satisfied that, in this instance, the offence has been made out and considers it is appropriate to make an order. … In determining the quantum of an Order, Section 44 of the 2016 Act requires the Tribunal to have regard to specific factors. … In summary, the Tribunal is advised to: i. Ascertain the whole of the rent for the relevant period; ii. … Consider how serious the offence was and what proportion of the rent, after deductions, is a fair reflection of the seriousness of the offence; iv. Finally, consider whether any deduction from, or addition to, that figure should be made in the light of the other factors set out in section 44(4) and as referred to in paragraph 64 above. … Taking each in turn. … The period of claim is 1 July 2024 to 28 February 2025. The total rent paid by the Applicant throughout this period was £4500. Both parties accepted that the rent was exclusive of any utility bills. … The Tribunal is next required to decide how serious the offence was, both compared to other types of offence in respect of which a rent repayment order may be made (and whose relative seriousness can be seen from the relevant maximum sentences on conviction) and when compared to other examples of the same type of offence. From there, the Tribunal will consider what proportion of the rent is a fair reflection of the seriousness of this offence. …
