From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
amount of rent paid by the applicants during the following two periods. … In both cases the applicants were able to prove payment by reference to copy bank statements produced to the Tribunal. … 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 respondent was a professional landlord. It was also clear that other issues had arisen between the applicants and their landlord over such matters as the maintenance of pre-paid meters for the services at the property and the provision of appropriate fire precautions including fire extinguishers. The applicants also had to make deductions from their rent to cover payments made by them for outgoings at the property that the landlord had in the tenancy agreement contracted to pay. … It is noteworthy that there is no presumption of a starting point of a 100% refund being made. (In the above case an award at 75% was considered reasonable). …
