From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
account the conduct of the landlord and of the tenants and the landlord’s financial circumstances. … The Respondent claimed to have had a hard time in recent years. … The Respondent says his only income is the £2,000 per month he receives from rents from the subject property. … The Respondent accused the Applicant of “taking advantage” of his reduced circumstances but the Tribunal cannot see that or how it might be relevant to an RRO. He also accused her of damaging the floor of her room and claimed he would have to replace the whole floor covering. However, the photo he provided as evidence just showed some minor localised damage to the laminate which could be the result of fair wear and tear and did not seem sufficient to justify replacing the whole floor covering. More relevantly, the Respondent had no mitigation for the commission of the licensing offence. … The Respondent provided details of his expenditure on the property and his income in the UK. … Despite the number of documents provided, there was insufficient evidence to suggest that the amount of the RRO should be altered to take account of anything relating to the Respondent’s financial circumstances. When this was put to him, the Respondent admitted that paying a RRO in the amount claimed by the Applicant would be difficult but not impossible. …
