From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
In determining the amount of the RRO which can only be for the period 29/12/2021 to 03/03/2022, the tribunal calculates the maximum amount for 2 months and five days (totalling 65 days) at £98.63 per day = £6,493.15. £6,410.95. … In considering the conduct of the landlord, the tribunal finds there is no previous relevant criminal conviction or received a financial penalty and no allegations of harassment. The respondent confirmed that he was not relying on financial circumstances and the tribunal did not have evidence of the respondent’s total income or commitments. Therefore the Tribunal makes no allowance in respect of the respondent’s financial circumstances. Further, the tribunal finds the respondent is an experienced landlord who owns a number of properties which he lets on a regular basis. The tribunal does not consider the offence committed by the respondent in all the circumstances is of the most serious kind and also takes into account the applicants own breach of the lease terms in leaving the property early. Therefore, the tribunal considers that in all the circumstances the appropriate award is 75% of the maximum amount of £6,410.95 i.e. £6,493.15 £4,808.21. … Further, the tribunal directs the respondent to reimburse the applicants with the application and hearing fees totalling £300. …
