From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
(b) pay a local housing authority an amount in respect of a relevant award of universal credit paid (to any person) in respect of rent under the tenancy.” 15. Section 40(3) lists seven offences “committed by a landlord in relation to housing in England let by that landlord”. … There is a criminal sanction in respect of some of these offences which may result in imprisonment. In other cases, the local housing authority might be expected to take action in the more serious case. However, recognising that the enforcement action taken by local authorities was been too low, the 2016 Act was enacted to provide additional protection for vulnerable tenants against rogue landlords. … (2) A tenant may apply for a rent repayment order only if — (a) the offence relates to housing that, at the time of the offence, was let to the tenant, and (b) the offence was committed in the period of 12 months ending with the day on which the application is made. … Section 44 is concerned with the amount payable under a RRO made in favour of tenants. By section 44(2) that amount “must relate to rent paid during the period mentioned” in a table which then follows. The table provides for repayment of rent paid by the tenant in respect of a maximum period of 12 months. …
