From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
On leaving the property, the applicants were expected to find a replacement tenant who in turn would be required to sign the tenancy agreement and deposit form. … The applicants told the tribunal that throughout the period of their own occupation there were at least three persons in occupation of the subject premises and confirmed that they each formed an individual household and shared kitchen and washing facilities and that the accommodation was their only home. … The applicants also requested the reimbursement of the cost of the application fee and the hearing fee. . … The tribunal’s findings and decision. … The tribunal did not have evidence of a relationship between the first respondents and the applicants and the applicants were not aware of the first respondents ownership of the subject property. … Therefore, the tribunal is satisfied so that it is sure that the first respondents had the control or management of an unlicensed HMO and committed an offence pursuant to section 72(1) of the Housing Act 2004. … In the absence of any evidence of any defence of ‘reasonable excuse’ by the first respondent and evidence of their financial or other circumstanced, the tribunal determines that an offence has been committed and that it is appropriate to make the rent repayment orders sought by the applicants. …
