From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Should any deductions be made as a result of the conduct of the landlord and the applicants? … The rental payments are substantiated by the bank statements provided by the applicants. The statements have not been challenged by the respondent. … The applicants claim less than that amount. … This does not appear to be substantiated by the tribunal’s calculations. … Therefore the starting point for the award is the amount claimed by the applicants. The conduct of the landlord. The applicants argue that the respondent made unlawful gains by renting premises without the required licence and failed to ensure that the property adhered to the safety conditions imposed by the licensing scheme. The respondent did not provide the appropriate level of security as the applicants were told to leave via an invalid form. … The applicants’ representative also pointed out to the tribunal that the sort of rent to rent arrangement which the respondent used was associated with exploitative practices by the intermediate landlords who often targeted foreign workers who were unfamiliar with the type of protections the law provides to those who rent. … The respondent argued that the applicants made no complaints about the condition of the premises. …
