From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
It was a feature of this case that there was virtually no significant conflict on the facts, and the Tribunal was impressed by the clarity and frankness of both sides in giving their evidence. … They had been “very comfortable” in the Property, and the Tribunal was shown photographs of the interior, which do indeed illustrate a well-appointed and congenial apartment. … It was towards the end of the term of the tenancy agreement (29th February 2020) that what appears to have been the only episode of tension between the parties occurred. … We then asked to extend it until the end of March and decided on 22nd, hoping to find something before that date. … Nonetheless, the Applicants felt aggrieved that, having been good tenants for 2 years, they had not been granted until 1st April to vacate the property and find alternative accommodation. The result was that they actually took a new tenancy of a flat further from their places of work, and at a rent higher than they had wished to pay. They were later informed independently, although the First Respondent had frankly told them as much, that it would have extended the unlawful letting to have granted another tenancy, because by that time he had been informed of the licencing requirement. Having been informed of the full position themselves, the Applicants made this application. …
