From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Relevant factors. … We find the period of the offence was from 28th October 2023 when all three Applicants were in occupation, to 11th February 2024. This period is different to the period the Applicants have claimed for in two respects. … Accordingly, their occupation would not bring the property within the HMO definition. … Secondly, the Applicants state the period of the offence was up to and including 12th February 2024. We disagree. It is common ground that the Respondent applied for a licence on 12th February 2024, therefore she did not commit an offence on that day. The last day the offence was committed was on 11th February 2024. … In their statement of case, the Applicants accept deductions will be made to the above amounts for utility bills. … That reduction has been calculated as follows: 28th October 2023 – 31st October 2023 = £169.681 1st November 2023 – 6th November 2023 = £262.982 7th November 2023 – 6th December 2023 = £1,315.00 7th December 2023 – 6th January 2024 = £1,315.00 7th January 2024 - 6th February 2024 = £1,315.00 7th February 2024 – 11th February 2024 = £226.703 43. … There are different ways to calculate the daily rate, for instance, by dividing the annual rent payable by 365 days. However, we have adopted the same method that the Applicants used, which is to divide the monthly rent by the number of days in that particular month. …
