From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
required to repay. … We therefore need to calculate his profit. … The tribunal noted that whilst all four tenants provided evidence of functioning bank accounts and that the respondent had itself made many and varied payments to a range of professionals, contractors and service providers, by BACS other direct banking methods; yet for reasons that were not clear to the tribunal, it had chosen instead to collect all rent from tenants in cash, often it was said, in envelopes left in rooms in the property at the request of the landlord’s agent for collection on diverse days, but without ever providing receipts. There was no evidence of widespread payment arrears or history of bad debts involving these four tenants that might have made such arrangement necessary for the landlord, and instead it served simply to obscure any income audit trail. … There was a slight conflict between the number of payments and their size and the presence of absence of any arrears; the applicants’ case supported by a large number of bank statements showing relevant cash withdrawals; the respondents showing a short table of payments and outstanding arrears. …
