From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The list of items the Respondent sought to take into account is extensive. however, it includes a number of items which predate the tenancy. These are represented by items 1 - 6 on the schedule. item 7 is agreed as being deductable as is the new bath included in the expenses at item. There are no receipts/invoices for the others items said to have been spent. Item 9, the cost to unblock the toilet is agreed. Item 10, the hob replacement is agreed but items 11 to 14 appear to be matters undertaken before the tenancy started. Items 15 to 18 would appear to be issues that should have either been dealt with through the freehold/landlord, or in the case of garden gate an expense which the Applicants denied had been incurred. Items 19 and 20 are accepted expenses as is the landlord's insurance, supposedly for repairs, which should have been followed for some of the works if the landlord did not accept responsibility under the lease. There is also a claim for the insurance of the property in the sum of £762 for two years. We would allow one year at that amount.. The Applicants have accepted the management costs and agency fees in the total of £4,551.89. If we add the insurance for the property that brings the total to £5,313.89. The other items of expenditure are in our finding non-recoverable. … A claim to offset mortgage payments is made. …
