From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
offset was £34,769.47, giving on his calculation a profit, before tax of £6,830.45. … He told us that he had applied for a licence in respect of the other property he owned with his wife in Camden as this was let to three woman who it seems had taken separate tenancies. This licence application was made in 2017. … He accepted that the tenants had conducted themselves throughout the tenancy. … Apparently, he was front of house and did some cooking. … He confirmed that there was no issue on conduct, for either side. He considered that it might be reasonable to offset some expenses, those relating to building insurance and carpeting might be reasonable. He thought it was charitable to describe the Respondent as an amateur landlord. … The Respondent was not a ‘rogue landlord’. FINDINGS 20. It is not in dispute that the Property required an HMO licence from the time it was let to the Applicants until an application was made on 14th April 2019. The only issue for us to decide is the amount of the RRO. … We bear in mind the following. The Respondent is an owner, either with his wife or brother of at least 4 flats and therefore is not in truth an amateur landlord, although, to use the parlance, not a ‘big player’ in the private rental world. …
