From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
tenants in respect of “a period, not exceeding 12 months, during with the landlord was committing the offence”. The amount must not exceed the rent paid by the tenants during the period, less any award of universal credit paid to any of the tenants. … However, the evidence is that the tenants entered into occupation on various dates, namely 2 October 2018, 31 October 2018, 26 November 2018, 28 December 2018 and 29 December 2018. … Up until that time, the Property may have been an HMO, but no evidence has been provided to confirm that there were five tenants living in the property between 2 October 2018 and 28 December 2018. … Therefore, the rent paid prior to this date (and/or in respect of occupation before this date) was not for consideration as part of a RRO, because the landlord was not committing the offence under section 72(1), until the five persons all took up occupation of the Property. … This was a decision was under 2004 Act, where the wording of section 74(6) is similar, but not identical, to the current provisions. …
