From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The decision to make a RRO award is therefore discretionary. However, because the offence was established the Tribunal found no reason why it should not make an RRO in the circumstances of this application. … The Applicant was seeking to recover rent paid of £9,100.00 for the period between 5 August 2022 to 5 August 2023. The Respondent accepted that this amount had been paid to him by the Applicant and at page 6 of his bundle stated “I concur with the applicant on the amount of rent paid for the RRO period”. … It was accepted by both parties that the only payment that the Respondent made for utilities for the benefit of the tenants was in relation to water. The Respondent told the Tribunal that the annual water bill was approximately £400 and that this amount could be divided equally between the four flats. However, when questioned, the Respondent conceded that the bill would also include the annex. Additionally, it was noted that each unit had a different number of people living in it and so the water consumption would vary considerably. The Respondent was unable to provide any further clarity on the amount of water usage from the Loft Flat. … When determining the amount of a RRO, the Tribunal has a discretion whether or not to make a deduction for utility payments. …
