From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
taken account of the guidance provided by the Upper Tribunal, including particularly where the Upper Tribunal has substituted percentage reductions in making a redetermination. … We do not repeat that material here, but have been guided by it. … Factors which have tended to result in higher penalties include that the offence was committed deliberately, or by a commercial landlord or an individual with a larger property portfolio, or where tenants have been exposed to poor or dangerous conditions which have been prolonged by the failure to licence. Factors tending to justify lower penalties include inadvertence on the part of a smaller landlord, property in good condition such that a licence would have been granted without additional work being required, and mitigating factors which go some way to explaining the offence, without excusing it, such as the failure of a letting agent to warn of the need for a licence, or personal incapacity due to poor health. … In this case, it does not appear there had been such a period of offending, given the licence that was valid until the transfer of ownership. Accordingly, we conclude that we should award an RRO of 50% of the possible maximum.
