From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
the Applicants succeed in their arguments. The hearing therefore proceeded on that basis and was confined solely to the legal arguments. … On 2 September 2024 the Tribunal received the promised schedule from the parties and the sums which the Tribunal has ordered to be paid to each Applicant are the sums set out in that schedule. … This is one of the many property guardian cases in which property guardian companies license property guardians to live in properties which would otherwise remain empty for the purposes of securing and safeguarding those empty properties. … A copy of that agreement is at pages 9 to 15 of the Respondent’s bundle and reference will be made to it in what follows. … The only issue in this case is whether or not the property is an HMO as defined in the Housing Act 2004 (“the 2004 Act”). If the Applicants can establish that it is, to the criminal standard, ie beyond reasonable doubt, then they win, if not, they lose. … The legal issue is in fact even narrower than that, as there is only one aspect of the definition of an HMO that is in dispute, namely whether or not the property falls within the statutory exception contained in paragraph 2 of Schedule 14 of the 2004 Act. This provision exempts any building from being an HMO if the person managing or having control of it is, among other things, a local housing authority. …
