From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Respondent. … The maximum amount of the rent repayment order. The First Applicant was in occupation from 17 January 2020 until November 2020. We have found that the Respondent ceased to commit the offence when he applied for a licence on 25 September 2020. The First Applicant therefore can claim a repayment of rent only for the period between 17 January 2020 and 25 September 2020. During that period, he paid a monthly rent of £750. We find that he did pay rent in that sum for all of that period. The amount of rent he paid therefore in respect of his occupation between those dates is the sum of £6,600 being 9 months at £750 less the 22 days between 25 September 2020 and the next rent payment date of 17 October 2020. … It is necessary to deduct from that sum the amount of universal credit which the First Applicant received in respect of housing. It was agreed between the parties that the appropriate amount to deduct would be 58% of the monthly rent, being £440 per month. That leads to a deduction of £3,828 over the same period. … The parties also agreed at the hearing that the Respondent had paid for the gas, electricity and water at the Property. They further agreed that the total sum of £498 should be deducted from the First Applicant’s claims in respect of those utilities. …
