From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Based on the above findings, we have the power to make a rent repayment order against the Respondent. … The amount of rent to be ordered to be repaid is governed by section 44 of the 2016 Act. Under sub-section 44(2), the amount must relate to rent paid by the tenant in respect of the period of 12 months ending with the date of the offence. Under sub-section 44(3), the amount that the landlord may be required to repay in respect of a period must not exceed the rent paid in respect of that period less any relevant award of universal credit paid in respect of rent under the tenancy during that period. … In this case, the claim relates to a period not exceeding 12 months ending with the date of the offence. There is also no suggestion that universal credit had been paid in respect of the rent. … On the basis of the Applicant’s evidence, which is not disputed by the Respondent, we are satisfied that the Applicant was in occupation for the whole of the period to which the rent repayment application relates. The Respondent has also not disputed the amount of rent that the Applicant states that he paid in respect of this period, and there is no suggestion that there is any separate period in respect of which there exist any rent arrears. …
