From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The decision to make a RRO award is therefore discretionary. However, because the offence was established, the Tribunal finds no reason why it should not make a RRO in the circumstances of this application. … The monthly rent was £420 and therefore the amount of rent for this period was £5,040. However, the Applicant told the Tribunal that he had paid less than this amount in rent, as he had made top-up payments for the gas and electricity and then deducted these from the rent paid. … At page 43 of the bundle, the Applicant set out a table showing the total amount paid in rent and the deduction made for utility payments. Each month £420 rent was due but the Applicant had deducted the amount he had paid for utilities. The Applicant confirmed that he had paid for gas and electricity by buying top-ups for the meter and then had claimed the amount spent by deducting this from rent paid he paid to the Respondent. … Whilst the Applicant was confirming the amount he had paid for utility payments to the Tribunal at the hearing, the Applicant recognised that the amount for June 2023 did not take into account the fact that another tenant had moved out part way through the month. … The Tribunal had to consider the seriousness of the offence as compared to other types of offences for which a RRO could be made, and also as compared to other examples of the same offence. …
