From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
which can be ordered under section 44(3) of the 2016 Act? … The amount of any rent repayment order must relate to rent paid by the Applicant in respect of a period, not exceeding 12 months, during which the landlord was committing the offence (see section 44(2) of the 2016 Act). … By section 44(3) of the 2016 Act: (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. … At the hearing, the Applicant confirmed that the relevant 12 month period runs from September 2019 to August 2020 (rather than from September 2019 to September 2020 as stated in his schedule). The Tribunal was initially of the view that one month’s rent would fall to be deducted from the Applicant’s total figure of £6,240. However, we note that the Applicant failed to include the month of October in his schedule (although he did rely upon a rent receipt as demonstrating that he paid rent for the month of October 2019). Accordingly, the figure of £6,240 represents 12 months’ rent paid during the period September 2019 to August 2020. …
