From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
rent relating to the 12 month period ending with the date of the application. This would mean that the applicants were limited to claiming a RRO for the period from 11th September 2021. That is not correct. As long as the application is brought within 12 months of a relevant offence, the RRO can then be made in respect of a period of up to 12 months during which the offence was being committed. This means that the 12 month period ends when the offence ceases to be committed and not when the application is submitted. It also means that the applicants can choose the 12 month period they claim an RRO . … The tribunal accepted that the respondent paid out approximately £3,333 annually on outgoings on the property. This equals approximately £277.75 pcm. The tribunal therefore determines to deduct £69.44 pcm from each of the applicants for outgoings. … The tribunal finds that the tenants conduct was good. They were responsible tenants throughout the tenancy. The tribunal found the evidence of the applicants to be reliable and thoughtful. Despite what the Respondent says the tribunal did not consider the evidence to have been exaggerated or schooled by their representative. There may have been problems around the return of the deposit and one applicant admits that he missed a rent payment, but the respondent’s evidence demonstrated no serious concerns with the applicants’ behaviour. …
