From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

agreement. She seemed to have no concept of having entered into a joint tenancy, or her legal requirements under that agreement. Her evidence was that people came and went and that it was the responsibility of the outgoing tenant to find a replacement tenant. If there was no replacement, she did not consider that that the missing rent should be covered by the remaining joint tenants. … In fact, it was not until she contacted the landlord herself in July 2021 when the washing machine had stopped working, asking for a replacement or a repair, that she acknowledged that there were rent arrears. The landlord refused to replace the washing machine because of the rent arrears. … It was equally clear that the applicant did not understand on what basis she had been paid that benefit. … When asked for the breakdown of each payment of UC in her bank statements, the applicant appeared to have no concept that part of the payment was for her personal allowance and part of it was towards her housing costs. No evidence had been adduced in relation to that because, as her representative said, he was not aware that UC would restrict the award of a tenant reclaiming rent paid. … The tribunal offered the applicant every opportunity to provide an explanation as to how much of the UC payment constituted a payment for housing costs. …
