From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

favour of tenants. By section 44(2) that amount “must relate to rent paid during the period mentioned” in a table which then follows. The table provides for repayment of rent paid by the tenant in respect of a maximum period of 12 months. Section 44(3) provides (emphasis added): “(3) The amount that the landlord may be required to repay in respect of a period must not exceed— (a) the rent paid in respect of that period, less (b) any relevant award of universal credit paid (to any person) in respect of rent under the tenancy during that period. … The 2004 Act introduced a new system of assessing housing conditions and enforcing housing standards. Part 2 relates to the licencing of houses in multiple occupation whilst Part 3 relates to the selective licensing of other residential accommodation. The Act creates offences under section 72(1) of having control and management of an unlicenced HMO and under section 95(1) of having control or management of an unlicenced house. … By section 80, a local housing authority (“LHA”) may designate a selective licencing area. Section 95 specifies a number of offences in relation to the licencing of houses. The material part provides: “(1) A person commits an offence if he is a person having control of or managing a house which is required to be licensed under this Part (see section 85 (1)) but is not so licensed. …
