From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Section 46 of the 2016 Act specifies circumstances where a tribunal is obliged to make a rent repayment order in the maximum amount (subject to exception circumstances). These do not apply where the tenant is seeking to rely on offences under section 95(1) of the 2004 Act, as is the case here. The tribunal therefore has discretion as to the percentage of the rent it can order be repaid. … Section 44 of the 2016 Act specifies the factors that a tribunal must take into account in making a rent repayment order. … That guidance is summarised as follows: (i) ascertain the whole of the rent for the relevant period; (ii) subtract any element of that sum that represents payment for utilities that only benefited the tenant, e.g. gas, electricity and internet access; (iii) consider how serious the offence was, both compared to other types of offence in respect of which a rent repayment order may be made (and whose relative seriousness can be seen from the relevant maximum sentences on conviction) and compared to other examples of the same type of offence. …
