From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The applicants’ witness statements contained confirmation that they had not received any universal credit when living at the Property. Accordingly the Tribunal has taken the whole of the rent for the relevant period to be £16,566. … Clause 4(2) provides that the Tenant is responsible for Council Tax. Clause 4(3) provides that the Tenant pays for all gas, electricity, water and sewerage services supplied to the Property. The Tribunal therefore finds that there should be no deduction from the total rent for utility payments. … As to the seriousness of the offence, the Tribunal has taken into account that that proper enforcement of licensing requirements against all landlords, good and bad, is necessary to ensure the general effectiveness of licensing system and to deter evasion, and the seriousness of the offence. … The offence in this application was operating an HMO without an additional licence. … The applicants stated that they did not believe that the Respondent had protected their rent deposit. They had not been given any deposit protection information. … The Applicants made no specific submissions on the seriousness of the offence. …
