From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
matters to be considered. If the offence relates to HMO licensing, the amount must relate to rent paid by the Applicants in a period, not exceeding 12 months, during which the landlord was committing the offence. By subsection (3) The amount that the landlord may be required to repay in respect of a period must not exceed- (a) the rent repaid in respect of that period, less (b) any relevant award of universal credit paid (to any person) in respect of rent under the tenancy during that period. … Determination of the Tribunal In reaching its Decision, the Tribunal has examined the following questions or issues: 20. Is the Tribunal satisfied, beyond reasonable doubt, that the alleged offence has been committed? (i) It is the undisputed evidence in this case that the room let to the Applicant was part of a property set out over 3 floors and comprising 5 rooms separately occupied by unrelated tenants, all of whom shared kitchen facilities, and 3 of whom shared a bathroom and toilet. Even without considering the additional 2 partners who for periods of time also resided in the property, the property fell within the mandatory licencing requitements of Part 2 0f the Housing Act 2004, section 55(2), in that it was occupied by 5 or more persons, the occupants were living in 2 or more separate households, and the building satisfies the criteria of section 254 of the Housing Act 2004. …
