From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
reimburse to the Applicants in respect of the rent for the period which was accepted to be from 18th August 2017 to 20th December 2017. … No evidence was put to us that either the landlord or the tenant had behaved in any way which needed to be taken into account. … The details of his expenditure are set out in his statement of case and we have noted those. It does seem to us that many of those expenses would have inevitably been incurred whether the rent was being paid or not. … The amount of rent is also not in dispute. … They did not initially appear to know what they might be. We accept that this appears to be his only rented property and that he has no knowledge of the licensing regulations. Indeed, it seems he has little knowledge of the tenancy agreement for he was not aware of his right to enter the Property to carry out the works, which he could have done and which would have enabled the rewiring to be carried out more quickly than he did. However, he is the party who has suffered as it has extended the period for which a rent repayment order could be made, it preventing him making an application for a licence until 20th December 2017. … She says that on 30th November 2017 they had received a complaint from the tenants of the Property advising the Council that they believed it to be an unlicensed HMO. …
