From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The tribunal finds that the respondents were responsible landlords and when a complaint was made they acted quickly to remedy it or have an item repaired. The tribunal finds the flat was not connected to a gas supply and that the applicant’s assertions of the respondent having failed to obtain a gas safety certificate as a breach of their obligations are without foundation. … The tribunal finds there was a valid EPC in effect during the initial letting of the Property but this subsequently expired. The tribunal accepts that the expiry date was not made clear on the EPC and that it was renewed when the respondents at the same time as they applied for s selective licence and an increase in rating from D to B was awarded. … The tribunal finds that the respondents were responsive to the applicants complaints of a lack of heating and hot water in February 2023. … The tribunal finds the respondents offered to provide the applicants with oil/fan heaters and to reduce the rental payments pro rata to reflect any increased electricity costs during the period 16/02/2023 to 06/03/2023 when the supply of heating and water to the Property was affected. The tribunal finds the respondents also arranged with a neighbour for the applicants to be able to shower during the period there was no hot water. …
