From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
respect of a period must not exceed— (a) the rent paid in respect of that period, less (b) any relevant award of universal credit paid (to any person) in respect of rent under the tenancy during that period. … In the current case, no issues have been raised as to the conduct of the tenants or the financial circumstances of the landlord. The landlord has never been convicted of a relevant offence. The sole issue in determining the amount of the rent repayment order is the landlord’s conduct. The landlord made no claim for a reduction in the amount of rent subject to the rent repayment order on account of her outgoings on the property. … The tenants paid three months’ rent totalling £9,600 up-front on about 10th August 2022 plus the deposit of £3,600. In our judgment, a rent repayment order can only be made in respect of the rent due in advance on 1st September 2022 of £3,200 and on 1st October 2022 of £3,200. A rent repayment order cannot be made in respect of the rent due on 1st November 2022 or in respect of the deposit. The landlord’s alleged misconduct. So far as the landlord’s conduct is concerned, the tenants relied on matters post-dating 27th October 2022. In our judgment as a matter of law, that is not right; it is conduct during the period for which the rent repayment order is made which is relevant. …
