From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The quantum of any RRO is determined in accordance with s44 of the 2016 Act which provides at s44(3) that the amount the landlord may be required to repay must not exceed the rent paid in respect of that period. … Accordingly the starting point for the calculation of the quantum is the rent paid during the relevant period (to a maximum of 12 months) less the deductions permitted by that decision, of which there were none in this case. … Accordingly the maximum amount that the tribunal may order in repayment is £28,200. … None of the submissions the tribunal heard as to the conduct of either landlord or the tenants would cause the tribunal to reduce the quantum of the RRO from the maximum amount.
