From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
What account should be taken of: i. The landlord’s conduct; ii. The landlord’s financial circumstances; iii. Whether the landlord has at any time been convicted of an offence in relation to this matter? iv. The conduct of the tenant? v. Any other factors? … We are satisfied therefore from the applicants’ evidence and the lack of dispute by the respondent in relation to the property that it was let as an HMO, and was subject to the mandatory licensing scheme, and was not licensed. … We have considered the evidence submitted by the parties. Did the property require a licence? … There is no dispute between the parties that the property was a licensable HMO. Was the property let to the tenant during the relevant period? … There is no dispute between the parties that the tenants had a tenancy agreement from 1 August 2017 until 31st August 2018, and it is therefore not disputed that the tenants were in occupation during the period for which the RRO is claimed. Was an offence committed by the landlord in the period of 12 months ending with the date the application was made? … The tribunal is satisfied that the property required a licence and had not been licensed during the tenancies, and that it is only since the end of the tenancy that a licence has been given, subject to conditions, and this is not in the name of the Respondent. …
