From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
unlawful activity during the period in question. It is not authority for the proposition that the maximum amount of rent is to be ordered under an RRO subject only to limited adjustment for the factors specified in s.44(4). … Section 44(4)(a) requires the FTT to take into account the conduct of the tenant when determining the amount of an order. No limit is imposed on the type of conduct that may be considered, and no more detailed guidance is given about the significance or weight to be attributed to different types of conduct in the determination. Those questions have been left to the FTT to resolve. I can think of no reason why relevant conduct should not include the conduct of a tenant in relation to the obligations of the tenancy. Failing to pay rent without explanation (and none was offered to the FTT or on the appeal) is a serious breach of a tenant's obligations. Parliament intended that the behaviour of the parties to the tenancy towards each other should be one factor to be taken into account. … Once it is determined that non-payment of rent is a matter which can properly be taken into account, it must be left to the FTT to decide what impact it should have on the amount to be repaid. …
