The amount of any RRO, if the case is one of an offence of failure to licence, must relate to rent paid by the Applicant in respect of a period, not exceeding 12 months, during which the landlord was committing the offence (see section 44(2) of the 2016 Act). … The Applicant produced bank statements showing that he had paid rent in a total sum of £6,600 during the relevant period (the rent was £550 per month). He also gave oral evidence that this rent had been paid and that he was not in receipt of universal credit during the relevant period. The Tribunal accepts this evidence. The amount of the RRO in the present case.
