From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Having determined that a rent repayment order should be made, the Tribunal next considered what the amount of such order should be. … This breaks down to a total of £6,125 on the basis of 6 month’s full rent of £900 per month and a pro-rata amount of £725 in respect of the time the Applicant occupied the Property until her departure in March 2025. … The Applicant accepted in her application form that a reduced amount may be appropriate to take into account the utility bills and other costs that had been met directly by the Respondent as per the terms of the licence agreement. … The Applicant further inviting the Tribunal to understand the importance of landlord’s ensuring they complied with legal requirements when letting properties. … In response, the Respondent had set out evidence around the cost of utility bills that had been met from the rent that was paid and also reiterated that she had never intended to allow unsafe or overcrowded conditions to occur at the Property. The Respondent suggested the conduct of the Applicant changed significantly from that of a happy and contented occupier, to one that was upset and disgruntled following her leaving occupation and not being permitted to stay for a night upon request when travelling back to the area subsequently. … Method of assessing amount of order. …
