From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The period for which the RRO is sought is 31st July 2023 – 31st July 2024 64. However the tribunal has found that the respondent committed the offence only from 1st June 2024 – 11th August 2024 and determined to treat that period as the period of claim. … The tribunal noted that the rent was paid at the end of each month. The Applicant provided evidence of the payment of rent during that period. In the relevant period the rent paid was 2 months at £800 pcm and 11 days at 31/800. The tribunal calculates the daily rent at £26 which multiplied by 11 equals £286. … The rent paid therefore totalled £1,886. … The tribunal found that the maximum RRO it could award was £1,886 Other arguments concerning the amount of the RRO to be awarded. … The Applicant argues that no deductions should be made from the rent for utilities. … The landlord was not paying bills promptly. … The Applicant argues that her conduct has been good.
