From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
paid. … It was not in dispute that the Respondent did not live at the property and that the property did not have an HMO licence. The question was whether it was required to be licensed. The applicant must prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that the property was required to be licensed by reference to the number of occupiers for whom it was their only or main residence. The Evidence. … The Respondent gave evidence that he had given no permissions under clause 3 or clause. … These plans were interfered with by the Covid lockdown starting in March 2020. … The Applicant also produced various chains of social media messages with other tenants and also a group dEaling with management issues within the flat. … Some of the evidence is circumstantial or open to interpretation and some is hearsay. … The offer to contribute to cleaning was a gesture of goodwill. … The address is 34 Bartholomew Close, Wandsworth. … None of the tenants was on the electoral roll for 162 Lambourne Street. The Tribunal’s Decision. The tribunal has considered all of the evidence presented by both parties. The tribunal considers there are gaps in the evidence from both parties and notes that neither called any witnesses to support their version of events.
