From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
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 Tribunal notes that the conditions set out in section 46 of the 2016 Act (which provides that in certain circumstances the amount of a rent repayment order is to be the maximum that the Tribunal has power to make) are not met. … These decisions concern the amount of a rent repayment order under the provisions of the 2004 Act which apply when a relevant offence started to be committed before 6 April 2017. … Subsection 74(5) of the 2004 Act includes provision (the Applicant’s emphasis supplied) that: “…the amount required to be paid by virtue of a rent repayment order under section 73(5) is to be such amount as the tribunal considers reasonable in the circumstances” 38. The Applicant submits that because the words “reasonable in the circumstances” do not appear in section 44 of the 2016 Act: (i) There should not be any assessment of “reasonable” deductions from the maximum amount of the rent repayment order. …
