From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
including food. She did not see any safety certificates whilst living at the property. … She had not known about the licensing scheme until she was looking for somewhere else to live. During the time she lived at the house an electrician had changed a socket in her bedroom and the electric light in the bathroom following a routine inspection; not because of any complaint. No certificates were provided following this work. … 3 others were residing at the property at this point. She thought the landlord knew there was a change in occupancy: the house had originally been let to family members who had moved out one by one. Therefore, the landlord knew we were new tenants. … During lockdown she had contacted the landlord regarding her bed; he arranged a replacement. She also contacted the landlord regarding the plumbing issues which were resolved to an extent although they kept recurring. … When asked about her experience living at the property, she said that living at the house had been a positive experience most of the time as she got on well with the other girls. When asked about the landlord, she said he was responsive to complaints to start with but that this had changed later on. … She had wanted to stay in the house longer but could not do so as the landlord wanted possession so that he could carry out repairs to the house. …
