From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
requires them to do to bring a property up to the required standard and, in particular, object to matters being raised about which the occupiers have not complained. … If a landlord does not apply for a licence, the audit process never happens. … The prospect of such savings is a powerful incentive not to get licensed. Not getting licensed means that important health and safety requirements may get missed, to the possible serious detriment of any occupiers. … Further, under section 44(4) of the 2016 Act, in determining the amount of the RRO the Tribunal must, in particular, take into account the conduct of the respective parties, the financial circumstances of the landlord, and whether the landlord has at any time been convicted of any of the relevant offences. The Respondent did not provide any information about his financial circumstances and there is no suggestion he has any previous convictions. … The Applicants complained about the Respondent’s conduct in a number of respects: (a) The Applicants each contributed deposits but they were never protected in accordance with section 213 Housing Act 2004. … It is so small that nothing more than a bed would fit in. The window would not close properly. There was damp and mould. (e) None of the internal doors were suitable by fire safety standards. …
