From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
a period must not exceed (a)the rent paid in respect of that period, less (b)any relevant award of universal credit paid (to any person) in respect of rent under the tenancy during that period. … This sets out how the tribunal should approach the quantification of a RRO. … The applicant seeks a RRO for the period 15/06/2023 and 14/02/2024. However, by an email dated 20 March 2024 the respondent wrote to the applicant requesting rent arrears of £2,658.40 which had accrued in the period 06/07/2023 to 05/03/2024. … The tribunal finds the rent paid personally by the applicant during the period 06/07/2023 to 05/03/2024 as £4,780.06 less arrears as at 14/02/24 of £1,208.39 i.e. £3,571.67. The tribunal does not consider the offence in all the circumstances of this case to be at the highest end of seriousness and took as its starting point 60% of the £3,571.67 and made a further deduction of 10% to reflect the conduct of the applicant in failing to pay rent as required under the terms of the lease. … The tribunal finds the respondent was largely responsive to the applicant’s complaints about the conditions in the flat including a broken fridge which the respondent replaced However, the tribunal could see from the numerous emails and the repeated requests by the respondent for the applicant to leave the property that the relationship had broken down on both sides. …
