From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The tribunal heard evidence that the applicants paid for all utilities and finds there are no deductions for utilities to be made from the total rent of £11,500. … The tribunal finds that there has been poor conduct by the landlord, in particular failing to comply with its obligations under the tenancy agreement as to repair, failing to obtain planning permission for the conversion of the property into a three bedroom flat and failing to engage with either the tenants or the tribunal in connection with this application. The tribunal is not however able to increase the amount of the RRO beyond the rent paid for the relevant period. … Accordingly no adjustment is made to the RRO by reason of the factors referred to in section 44(4) of the 2016 Act. … The sum of the RRO is £11,500.
