From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
repayment sought £6,782.24 was calculated was annexed. … We checked it and did not find it inaccurate. If a RRO is made what amount should be repaid? … We examined whether there were any other exceptions (s 74 (3) and (4)) to the statutory requirement for us to make a RRO for the full amount (s 74 (2)). … It was with some reluctance that we accepted from the schedule [16, 17] together with the oral evidence and the somewhat impenetrable computer printouts prepared as exhibits for the criminal proceedings, that HB has been paid in respect of the property for the amounts stated and on the dates given. … The tenants left were “council tenants” and he was misled by the council into giving accommodation to individuals who later turned out to be problematic and unmanageable. Multiple punishments were not fair. … He said the tenants paid the electricity themselves and it was metered. He paid water rates and council tax for the house. … He intends to rent the property to one family in future. He told us he was suffering hypertension. … We saw no concrete evidence of his financial circumstances, such as details of income or outgoings, but we do know that he had the right to receive considerable rental income from the property during the relevant periods. If a tenant is in arrears a landlord can seek legal redress. …
