From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The period for which the RRO is sought is from 13th November 2022 to 12th November 2023. … Sometimes payments in these months were late, but the arrears were cleared. In the month of July 2023, the applicant says that the respondent agreed to use the £100 deposit to make up the arrears. The applicant provided evidence of the respondent’s agreement to this. (ii) In April 2023 the rent paid was £425 because of an agreed deduction because of the state of the property during three days that month. The applicant argues and the tribunal accepts that rent in the month of April 2023 should be treated as paid fully, i.e. £850, because the deductions were for very poor conditions and the expenses that the applicant incurred living elsewhere (see discussion of the incident at paragraphs 41 and 42 below). (iii) He paid £900 pcm for the months of September 2023 and October 2023. … The tribunal found that the maximum RRO it could award was £10,300. This is made up of 10 payments of £850 and 2 payments of £900. Other arguments concerning the amount of the RRO to be awarded. … The rent included payments for utilities.
