From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
It was not suggested that we should exercise our exceptional discretion not to make an RRO, once we had rejected the reasonable excuse submission, and we see no reason to do so. … What proportion of the rent (after deduction as above) is a fair reflection of the seriousness of this offence? … We add that at stage (d), it is also appropriate to consider any other of the circumstances of the case that the Tribunal considers relevant. … It is an assessment of the conduct of the landlord specifically in the context of the offence itself; how badly has this landlord behaved in committing the offence? I have set it out as a separate step because it is the matter that has most frequently been overlooked.” 46. … In this case, the relevant period was five months and ten days. We went through a process with the parties to determine the total rent paid during that period. … We agreed to do so. The figure was not contested by the Respondent. … The maximum possible RRO is £13,229. … In accordance with the tenancy agreement, the Applicants paid the utilities, so there is nothing to deduct at stage (b). … In assessing the seriousness starting point under stage (c), there are two axes of seriousness. The first is the seriousness of the offence, compared to the other offences specified in section 41 of the 2004 Act. …
