From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
We have no input from the respondents. We have accepted the applicants case that he has paid 10 months of rent at £737 per month and two months at a reduced rate of £697 and £677 per month, to reflect the credit for the electricity he paid for. From the £737 we accept that a reduction of £37 appears appropriate to reflect the cleaning and utility costs, thus reducing the sum for the 10 month period to £700 per month. In respect of the month of March 2019 not only should there be a reduction, already conceded, of £40 in respect of the rebate made by the respondents for the electricity, but it should be further reduced by £24 to reflect the cleaning, giving an amount claimed of £673. In respect of April 2019, the same reductions must be made for cleaning giving a sum due of £653. … There are no issues of conduct on the part of the applicant. The same cannot be said of the respondents given the conduct surrounding the removal of sanitary ware and doors and the notice to quit, which would not appear to allow the two month period required by statute. … The maximum amount that can be awarded is £8,844. … In our finding this is still good law, notwithstanding the introduction of the 2016 Act. From the maximum sum we can make deductions to reflect the utilities and cleaning, as has already been properly conceded by the applicant. …
