From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
42(3) it says this: “The amount the landlord may be required to repay in respect of a period must not exceed (a) the rent paid in respect of that period, less (b) any relevant award of universal credit paid to any person in respect of the rent under the tenancy during that period.” The applicant has applied for an order covering the period of 12 months ending on 4 June 2019, a sum of £9,600. … The Respondents did not put forward or provide any evidence of utility payments to be subtracted from this amount. … Certainly, the accounts, which are not full accounts, show that the company has been trading in a deficit position for the last 2 years, at least. … The only jurisdictional filter is the landlord in question must have committed one of the relevant offences and before an order may be made the FTT this must be satisfied on the criminal standard of proof that is the case. We are satisfied that is the case. … No real argument was put to us that conduct of either party should be taken into account. … The conduct of the Respondent did not provide any grounds for reducing the repayment amount. Further there was no argument on the question of the financial circumstances of the landlord as she insisted throughout the hearing that her financial circumstances were very good such that she did not need an income from the property. …
