From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
an RPT to order to be repaid under an RRO must be considered in relation to these purposes. … It must be satisfied of the matters set out in section 73(8), and it must take into account the particular matters set out in section 74(6) as well as any other matters that may be material. (ii) Since the landlord is liable to suffer two penalties – a fine and an RRO – it will be necessary to take this into account. An RPT should have regard to the total amount that the landlord would have to pay by way of a fine and under an RRO. There may be a tension between the imposition of a fine and the making of an RRO. … In the present case the magistrates imposed a fine of £525, which would suggest that they did not consider this particular offence to be other than minor. The RPT, however, is entitled to take a different view about the seriousness of operating the HMO without a licence. (iii) There is no presumption that the RRO should be for the total amount received by the landlord during the relevant period unless there are good reasons why it should not be. The RPT must take an overall view of the circumstances in determining what amount would be reasonable. (iv) Paragraph (a) of section 74(6) requires the RPT to take into account the total amount of rent received during any period during which it appears to it that the offence was being committed. …
