From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
the rent paid in that period. The tribunal must also take into account the conduct of the landlord and tenant and the financial circumstances of the landlord and whether the landlord has been convicted of an offence. … The tribunal has no evidence of a conviction. … The amount of rent paid in the relevant period is £6750. … No evidence has been submitted on behalf of the 1st Respondent relating to financial circumstances. … On behalf of the 2nd Respondent 5 bank statements were submitted which were said to show hardship. On behalf of the Applicant these were said to be a very limited selection from one bank account and not sufficient evidence to show financial difficulty. The tribunal agrees with the Applicant. … Additionally, the tribunal takes into account the correspondence between the 2nd Respondent and Tower Hamlets which sought to mislead the Council as to the status of the tenants. … The tribunal is satisfied there is no conduct on the part of the landlord or the financial circumstances of either Respondent justify a reduction in the level of rent to be repaid. … The tribunal finds no evidence of any conduct on behalf of the tenant which is relevant to this assessment. Our Determination. The Tribunal is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the Respondents have committed an offence under section 72(1) of the 2004 Act of control of an unlicenced HMO. …
