From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
conduct of the parties and all the circumstances of the case. It could not take account of the respondent’s financial circumstances or the outgoings for the Property, as no details were provided. … The respondent has not been convicted of any offence but there has clearly been misconduct on its part. She failed to licence for a period of at least 6 months and has not engaged in these proceedings. … The respondent did not give details of any circumstances justifying a reduction in the maximum amount of any RRO. … The applicant has acted reasonably throughout and there has been no misconduct on his part that might reduce the amount of the RRO. … Having regard to all of these factors, the appropriate order is that the respondent should repay 100% of the rental element of the sums paid by the applicant for the period 10 August 2017 to 10 February 2018. These payments included all bills (utilities and any council tax). In the absence of any evidence as to these costs, the Tribunal used the members’ own knowledge and expertise and estimated that the applicant’s share of the bills was £50 per month. It deducted this sum from the monthly payments to arrive at a rental element of £800 per month. The sum to be repaid to the applicant is £4,800 (6 months at £800 per month) with repayment to be made within 28 days of the date of this decision. … He suggested that these totalled £400. …
