From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The maximum amount claimed by the Applicants is set out and calculated above. It relates to the period set out in section 44(2) of the 2016 Act and it does not exceed the amount specified in section 44(3). … We are, therefore, required by section 44(4)(a) of the 2016 to take account of the conduct of the landlord and the tenants and the financial circumstances of the Respondent. Conduct of the tenants: the evidence. There is nothing negative to say about the conduct of the tenants. They paid their rent on time and were very accommodating of the landlord’s request for early termination and for the premises to be deep cleaned in the light of the pandemic. Conduct of the landlord: the evidence. Issues relating to the conduct of the landlord formed the largest part of the evidence given at the hearing. Circumstances of letting. The background to the lettings is necessary to set out briefly in order to understand properly the context of the landlord’s conduct. The Respondent is not a professional landlord. Before and immediately after this letting, the Property was the family home of the Respondent and her family. The Respondent told the Tribunal that her husband had been very ill for some time and had recently recovered. They decided to take this opportunity to go abroad on what she described as a “dream trip” for three months. …
