From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
In that case, the RRO awarded against the professional landlord of a property in respect of which there were no substantial disrepair or other issues, was 85% of the maximum total. Here, there were significant issues of disrepair and fire safety. … In that case, the landlord was a professional landlord on a small scale renting out a property that had previously been his home, and who did not make his living from renting. … If necessary, he could sell the rental properties. … As to conduct, even given the poor performance of the managing agent, and their dishonesty as to reporting problems, he should have been more assiduous in supervising them. He had the option to take legal action against the agents. … As to seriousness, she referred us to [37] of the same case. … She argued that there were three key factors which the Upper Tribunal took into account in that case. They were first, that it was the first letting to a group of tenants not constituting a single household, the condition of the property, and the speed of response once the landlord became personally aware of the issues. … Secondly, as to condition, there were three main issues: the radiators, the window, and the leak. … None were really health and safety issues. … When he left, he let it as it was. The law in relation to fire safety is complicated, and has achieved higher salience in recent times. …
