From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The Tribunal therefore went on to consider the amount, if any, which it should order the First Respondent to pay. … The first step is to ascertain the whole of the rent for the relevant period. Rent. The agreed rent was £900 per calendar month, which equates to £29.59 per day. The period for which an order was sought commenced on 16 March 2021 and ended on 21 September 2021. That amounts to 6 months and 5 days. The rent for 6 months is £5,400 and that for the extra 5 days pro-rata is 5 x £29.59 = £147.95, making the total rent paid in the relevant period £5,547.95. … No deductions are required for utilities, as the rent did not include them. Therefore, the total maximum award was £5,547.95. … From that it determined what proportion of the rent was a fair reflection of the seriousness of the offence. … The offence in question is one contrary to section 95(1) of the 2004 Act. This is, when compared with offences such as unlawful eviction, a more minor offence. In the view of the Tribunal this would merit a reduction of 25% from the total maximum award. … In addition, this was also very much at the lower end of the scale for offences involving a failure to licence. … However, the Tribunal accepted that, whilst not an excuse, the fact that they were hoping to agree a sale of the property – which in fact finally took place – provides a small degree of mitigation. …
