From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
applicant during the periods of occupancy as set out within the trial bundle where the rents actually paid were fully stated in a spreadsheet format. The amounts are set out in this decision at paragraph (2) above. These sums represent the maximum sum, (£100%), that might form the amount of a rent repayment order. … Amongst other factors the tribunal should be mindful of the length of time that an offence was being committed and the culpability of the landlord is relevant; a professional landlord is expected to know better. From the evidence before it provided by the applicants the Tribunal took the view that the first respondent was a professional landlord and replies on the information from the witness statement set out above to confirm this view. … The circumstances in which the offence was committed are always likely to be material. A deliberate flouting of the requirement to register will obviously merit a larger RRO than instances of inadvertence – although all HMO landlords ought to know the law. A landlord who is engaged professionally in letting is likely to be more harshly dealt with than the non-professional.” 23. … The Tribunal must therefore consider the conduct of the parties and the financial circumstances of the respondent. Express matter (c) was not considered as no such convictions apply so far as the respondents are concerned. …
