From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
of the RRO. … In determining the amount, the Tribunal must have regard to the conduct of landlord, the landlord’s financial circumstances and whether the landlord has been prosecuted. … The Respondent has failed to make any representations leaving the Tribunal with limited information upon which to determine conduct. … (b) There is no evidence of disrepair at the property because the HMO licence was granted without improvements having been required. Nor is there any evidence that the Respondent has been prosecuted. No further points in the Respondent’s favour were available. … That argument is rejected by the Tribunal. The period claimed is the one before the Tribunal. A period which was not subject to the application, cannot be considered as a reduction. … In relation to the Respondent’s financial circumstances, nothing is known, other than the fact that the Respondent has received a re gular income for the property without complying with his duties as landlord by failing to apply for a licence for the relevant period. It is inappropriate therefore to make any deductions on this basis. … The Tribunal keeps in mind that a RRO is meant to be a penalty against a landlord who does not follow the law. It is a serious offence which could lead to criminal proceedings. …
