From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The Hearing. The hearing was attended by the Applicants. There was no attendance by or on behalf of the Respondent. The Tribunal was satisfied that reasonable steps had been taken to notify the Respondent of the hearing and that it was in the interests of justice to proceed with the hearing in his absence. The hearing therefore proceeded in the Respondent’s absence. … They say that a written contract for a six month tenancy was provided to them at the start of the tenancy but they have lost their copy. That the rent payable by them was £700 for the first month and £800 per month thereafter. That when the fixed term of the tenancy expired they continued to occupy under the terms of a periodic tenancy. … It was over two floors. There was a kitchen two bathrooms and two bedrooms on the first floor and two further bedrooms on the second floor. The rent had been, following a negotiation with the Respondent, agreed at £700 for the first month of the Applicant’s occupation and thereafter £800 per month. The Respondent paid for utilities and council tax. … The Respondent was not named as a registered proprietor of either interests. … He said that the Respondent had refused to address any of these problems. …
