From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The Tribunal therefore went on to consider the amount, if any, which it should order the Respondent to pay. … The first step is to ascertain the whole of the rent for the relevant period. Rent. A schedule of the rent payments made by the Applicant is at page A87. The first payment that was made was of £2,742.31. This was made on 19 January 2023. However, as explained above, the tenancy did not begin until 21 January 2023. The Applicant did not start living at the property or place any of her belongings in it until that date. As there is no suggestion that the property was being let to any other person on 19 January 2023, it follows that, at that date, no offence was being committed. As the property was not occupied under a tenancy, it did not fall within the scope of section 79(2) of the 2004 Act and so it was not, on that date, a house to which Part 3 of the 2004 Act applied. … Rent paid before or after the offence was being committed cannot be considered. … The rent paid by the Applicant did not include utilities, she herself was liable to pay these – see clause 5.5 at page A31. Therefore, no deduction for these is appropriate. Thus, the total possible award for the Applicant is £13,950. … From that it determined what proportion of the rent was a fair reflection of the seriousness of the offence. … The offence in question is one contrary to section 95(1) of the 2004 Act. …
