From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
substantial rent arrears of £20,973.36 that had accrued, the service charges in the region of £8,000 the second respondent had to pay and the conduct of the applicant and her agent throughout the period of her tenancy. The tribunal’s decision and reasons. The tribunal finds the applicant has proved beyond all reasonable doubt the property was unlicensed during the period 22 February 2021 to 22 June 2022 and that an offence was committed by second respondent who had the control or management of the Property during this period. … The tribunal accepts that for all other purposes the first respondent had entered into an agreement with the second respondent to manage the Property on his behalf, on the condition that all necessary (HMO) licences had been applied for by the landlord. The tribunal finds the first respondent was not and had never been the applicant’s landlord and for the purpose of obtaining a licence had not had the management or control of the Property. … However, the tribunal finds the first respondent has demonstrated that for licensing purposes the obligation was expressly placed upon and accepted by the second respondent only. … The tribunal determines the maximum amount of a rent repayment is four months’ rent totalling £10,486.68 (the holding deposit and deposit not being within the jurisdiction of the tribunal). …
