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 was all within the 12 months immediately before the application was issued.) 58. The period for which the applicants each seek an RRO is for the 12 month period from 4 October 2019. … The evidence from the Applicants, supported by copies of their bank statements, is that they did pay all of the rent due during that period, and that any arrears which had arisen had been discharged by the date when they moved out. The tribunal accepts that evidence. … The rent included discharge by the landlords of the utilities in respect of Council Tax, electricity and water. These sums fall to be deducted from the amount on which any RRO is based, because the Applicants have had the benefit of those utilities. The Applicants were unable to give any evidence as to the actual costs of these utilities for the Property. …
