From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
take into account in particular the issues set out in paragraph 4 above, namely the conduct of the landlord and tenant and the financial circumstances of the landlord. There is no conviction to take into account in this case. … The tribunal considers that the clearly dangerous repair of the Applicant’s main light is relevant, as the works would not have been passed by any competent electrician or on inspection by the local authority. … Given that the Applicant had not packed up his room in advance there was bound to be a degree of disorder around the process, as illustrated by the photograph in the Applicant’s bundle. … On the part of the tenant, he was in breach of his contractual obligation to pay his rent from May 2018. … The statement also has the air of holding the Respondent to ransom, by reference to further fines, claims by the other occupiers and even imprisonment. … The Applicant’s rent was some 20% of the total paid in respect of the property; deducting 20% of the expenditure set out in paragraph 13 above provides a net income for the Respondent of £256 per month or £3,072 over a 12 month period. However, the Applicant admitted rent arrears of £2,847 which the Tribunal considers should also be taken into account. This would leave some £225. …
