From the tribunal's reasons on 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 their financial circumstances and there is no suggestion they have any previous convictions. … Neither the Applicants nor the Respondent were aware of this until a notice of eviction was served on the Applicants on 2nd February 2025 informing them that they would be evicted on 17th February 2025. … This came as a considerable shock to both the Applicants and the Respondent. … She sought to keep the Applicants informed but, understandably, they were not sure whether to accept her reassurances and pursued their own action. … Fortunately, on the same day as the application, the mortgagees’ solicitors, TLT LLP, phoned the First Applicant to say that they would grant an extension to 4th April 2025. This was confirmed by letter dated 5th February 2025. … Further, while looking into what they could do, they found out that the property should have had, but did not have, an HMO licence. Therefore, on 22nd February 2025 they gave notice to quit in accordance with the break clause contained in their tenancy agreements. …
