From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
be determined in accordance with that section. Sub-paragraph 44(2) provides that in a case concerning an offence under s.72(1) of the 2004 Act, the amount must relate to rent paid during a period, not exceeding 12 months, during which the landlord was committing the offence. (There is no requirement that this is within the 12 months immediately before the application was issued.) 45. The period for which the applicants each seek an RRO is from 24 April to 13 October 2021. For the reasons set out above, the tribunal has concluded that DKL was committing an offence under s.72(1) for the whole of that period. … The tribunal accepts that evidence. This was a period of 5 months 19 days, or 172 days. … The rent included £40 per month said to be in respect of gas and electricity and also an unspecified sum in respect of water charges. In the absence of any other evidence, and applying its expert knowledge, the tribunal has concluded that the sums for gas and electricity represent a reasonable estimation of those costs. It has further concluded that a deduction of £10 per month would be reasonable for the water charges. … Therefore, the tribunal has concluded that the net rent, after deduction of utilities, was £590 per month. …
